Making a script, got a lot of questions

API
1

Currently working on a script to make any emote a mouse cursor on twitch. Can’t figure out a number of things since I don’t know a lot of coding.

  • How to call for any emote?
  • How to add an additional menu in the settings?
  • Should I keep it at a script, or make it a complete addon?

Thank you to anyone who helps. I am new to this.

Are you doing this inside of a browser? a good idea would just be listening for any links to the emote site:

http://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v1/

And replacing those images with a link to a custom ( or even local ) image.

If you’re using some kind of irc and want to parse chat;
I think the best bet is going to twitchemotes.com
and downloading the emote files from their API, to get all emote “text” - and replacing those with an image.

EDIT: My bad!
API of twitch for all emotes

It’s gonna be a stylish script. Main plan is to have an input box where the user searches for an emote, and the selected emote becomes the cursor.

I need a coding senpai real bad

You should use emoticon_images instead of the old emoticons endpoint and http://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v1/:id/:size for the image URL. ID from the API and size either 1.0 for 28x28, 2.0 for 56x56 or 3.0 for 112x112 version.

That’s a thing? Keep in mind, I barely know any programming langauges, so making this is quite a challenge
