Viewer List in Twitch Configuration Service

Hello,

I’ve been looking in the Twitch Configuration Service for use in my app and I was wondering if there is any kind of data we as developers have access to? Getting a list of viewers would be very helpful for my application and I would like to be able to send this to my EBS. Is this possible with the Twitch Configuration Service?

The Twitch Configuration Service; store persistent data and reduce traffic to your backend

Today we’re announcing the Twitch Configuration Service. Configuration Service removes the burden of writing a backend to store persistent channel- and Extension-specific data. Additionally, it provides this data to the front-end on extension load, reducing traffic to your Extension backend for this scenario. This means developers can spend more time building a great user experience. In short, with Configuration Service, we’re unlocking a developer’s ability to build better Extensions faster. W…

Thanks

I’m not quite seeing how accessing a list of viewers relates to the Twitch Config Service, but no, you can’t access the list of people viewing a stream. You can get a list of chatters who are connected to chat through the undocumented chatters API, but not all users connected to chat are viewing the stream, and not all those viewing the stream are in chat, so it’s not an accurate representation of viewers.
