node-twitch-get-stream

Gets the m3u8 direct stream URLs of a live stream on twitch.tv.

NOTE: v0.6.0 breaking change - no longer needs client ID, as only one works as discussed in #9.

Usage

npm install --save twitch-get-stream

var twitchStreams = require('twitch-get-stream')
...
twitchStreams.get('channel')
    .then(function(streams) {
        ...
    });

The output will be as an array of objects, example:

[
  {
    quality: 'Source',
    resolution: '1280x720',
    url: 'long_twitch_hls_url_here'
  }, {...}
]

Other uses

twitchStream.raw('channel');
twitchStream.rawParsed('channel');

Similar to above, however .raw is used for getting the raw m3u8 data as a string, and .rawParsed is used to get the raw data, parsed through the m3u8 lib into an object.

Upgrading Notes

0.4.1 to 0.5.0 - .nodeify() support has been removed in favor of just using the native Promise over the npm package; thus, you cannot use callbacks anymore. If you really need callback support, look into some library that can change it back for you. The superagent library has also been removed, replaced with axios. This change should not affect external code interfacing the library.

If theres anything else you want with this module, do tell me but I just put together this module for another project I was working on. Feel free to issue a pull request if you have any code changes you want to contribute yourself.
