Quick question: is it possible to create a clip on twitch through IRC?
reddit / irc

I'm modifying someone else's bot that they made that tracks how many
times "VAC" has been spammed in chat. I want to make it so that when
the VAC count reaches a certain amount it will create a clip.

Thanks in advance, kind redditors!

A clip of twitch? That will have to be done with software outside of
IRC.

They said through, not with.

In that case, it should certainly be possible. Assuming you can
normally programmatically make clips that is.

I think they are referring to the terrible pseudo-IRC gateway that
Twitch has.

Yes, I understand that. What I'm suggesting is that if you can make a
clip of something on twitch programmatically already, then adding it
through any arbitrary gateway is trivial.

It's possible to do on their website, so even if there isn't a
documented api, the endpoints can be sniffed out and done via a
script.

I am not.
