Firehose? How to get authentication token?

Was the firehose updated?

When loading I get “error authenticating” is the auth something new?
How do I get this new authentication?
I don’t see anything on the authentication guide about it.

Twitch has a firehose?

I’m not sure what you refer to

http://tmi.twitch.tv/firehose
Yes, Yes Twitch does. :smiley:

You are using an undocumented API that is not supposed to be used by third party devs.

Only API’s that go https://api.twitch.tv/kraken are supported

Dang that sucks, used to be able to use it, right as I started it was closed :wink:
Sad day, is this something that might be open to us eventually?

No idea. I’m not Twitch staff and they don’t usually comment on their road map…

I didn’t even know it existed till just now :stuck_out_tongue:

Yep, was using it to grab keywords and such then post them in a terminal, was fun while it lasted.

Firehose isn’t supported for third parties. We did patch the auth bug as you can see. :slight_smile:

Would there be a requests to maybe gain access to the firehose? Kinda sad that it’s not open anymore :frowning:

There isn’t a way to request access. The firehose wasn’t intended as a supported developer interface. What would be your use case for something like this?

Well, was using it to hunt for keywords like my username to find what chat it’s being used, then drop in and say hi like batman.
Or used to find a keyword (deepbot) and to test if it is a user in need of support of said bot.

well I mean that’s what I was using it for.

But then again the developer agreement talks about the firehose o.O
