PLEASE check the "Dev" build before doing a PR if master does not have a feature your looking for.
TwitchLib is a powerful C# library that allows for interaction with various Twitch services. Currently supported services are: chat and whisper, API's (v5(deprecated), helix, undocumented, and third party), PubSub event system, and Twitch Extensions. Below are the descriptions of the core components that make up TwitchLib.
Talk directly with us on Discord. https://discord.gg/8NXaEyV
- TwitchLib.Client: Handles chat and whisper Twitch services. Complete with a suite of events that fire for virtually every piece of data received from Twitch. Helper methods also exist for replying to whispers or fetching moderator lists.
- TwitchLib.Api: Complete coverage of v5(deprecated), and Helix endpoints. The API is now a singleton class. This class allows fetching all publicly accessible data as well as modify Twitch services like profiles and streams.
- TwitchLib.PubSub: Supports all documented Twitch PubSub topics as well as a few undocumented ones.
- TwitchLib.Extension: EBS implementation for validating requests, interacting with extension via PubSub and calling Extension endpoints.
- TwitchLib.Unity: Unity wrapper system for TwitchLib to allow easy usage of TwitchLib in Unity projects!
- TwitchLib.Webhook: Implements ASP.NET Core Webhook Receiver with TwitchLib. [Requires DotNet Core 2.1+]
- TwitchLib.Client:
- Send formatted or raw messages to Twitch
- Chat and Whisper command detection and parsing
- Helper methods
- Timeout, ban, unban users
- Change chat color and clear chat
- Invoke stream commercials and hosts
- Emote only, follower only, subscriber only, and slow mode
- Reply-to whisper support
- Handles chat and whisper events:
- Connected and Joined channel
- Channel and User state changed
- Message received/sent
- Whisper received/sent (Sending requires a known/verified bot)
- User joined/left
- Moderator joined/left
- New subscriptions and resubscriptions
- Hosting and raid detection
- Chat clear, user timeouts, user bans
- TwitchLib.APi:
- Supported Twitch API endpoints:v5(deprecated), Helix
- Supported API sections:
- Badges, Bits, Blocks
- ChannelFeeds, Channels, Chat, Clips, Collections, Communities,
- Follows
- Games
- HypeTrain
- Ingests
- Root
- Search, Streams, Subscriptions
- Teams
- ThirdParty
- Moderator Lookup courtesy of 3v's https://t.3v.fi
- Twitch Authentication Flow courtesy of swiftyspiffy's https://twitchtokengenerator.com/
- Undocumented
- ClipChat
- TwitchPrimeOffers
- ChannelHosts
- ChatProperties
- ChannelPanels
- CSMaps
- CSStreams
- RecentMessages
- Chatters
- RecentChannelEvents
- ChatUser
- UsernameAvailable
- User
- Videos
- Services
- FollowerService: Service for detection of new followers in somewhat real time.
- LiveStreamMonitor: Service for detecting when a channel goes online/offline in somewhat real time.
- MessageThrottler: Service to throttle chat messages to abide by Twitch use requirements.
- TwitchLib.PubSub:
- Supported topics:
- ChatModeratorActions
- BitsEvents
- VideoPlayback
- Whispers
- Subscriptions
- (Dev) Channel Points
- Supported topics:
- TwitchLib.Extension:
- Developed to be used as part of an EBS (extension back-end service) for a Twitch Extension.
- Perform API calls related to Extensions (create secret, revoke, channels using extension, etc.)
- Validation of requests to EBS using extension secret and JWT.
- Interact with extension via PubSub.

Below are basic examples of how to utilize each of the core components of TwitchLib. These are C# examples. NOTE: Twitchlib.API currently does not support Visual Basic. UPDATE: PR'd Visual Basic fix but requires testing by someone that uses it.

Note: TwitchAPI is now a singleton class that needs to be instantiated with optional clientid and auth token. Please know that failure to provide at least a client id, and sometimes an access token will result in exceptions. v5(Deprecated) and Helix operate almost entirely on Twitch user id's. There are methods in all Twitch api versions to get corresponding usernames/userids.
