Go TwitchAlerts

A go package to allow the user to detect when a streamer is live and trigger a custom event. Requests are currently rate limited at 80ms since that that is the fastest the Twitch api allows. Each streamer has a thirty-second cooldown between checks, delay between check runs is customisable in the config file.

If you find any bugs or have a feature request, please report them on GitHub and any improvements or additions are welcome through pull requests.
