Getting realtime data, like new followers

API
1

Hello,

I’m new to using the Twitch API and API’s in general. In the API I saw possibilities for getting a channel followers count, but my question is is there also a way to get realtime new followers? Or do I need something like NodeJS with the current API request?

Thanks in advanced,
Robert

Follows are not a pubsub topic, at least not yet. Subscribers are, though.

In Helix there are webhooks planned to do this.

Ok and Helix is?

Helix is the new API https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api It will replace Kraken v5 in the future. It’s still in progress. Check out the roadmap: https://trello.com/b/xdoVhmKj/twitch-developer-platform-roadmap
