Hello. I am trying to figure out the twitch API requirements and how to interact with it so I may use my stream data to change values on my overlay.
My big problems are:
-How do I target my API information?
-What should I use to target the API info? (coding language, or type of platform to use)
If someone could help me to understand which way is up I would greatly appreciate it.
PS: I have no experience writing JS or dealing with anything outside of HTML/CSS.
-Thank you for your time!

Thank you for your assistance. I am confused though on how to use the below code. Where do I put this in, and does is need formatting on my part?
curl -H 'Client-ID: uo6dggojyb8d6soh92zknwmi5ej1q2' \
-X GET 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows?to_id=23161357'
This is a raw example of how to obtain data on the command line using cURL.
You’d need to make a HTTP request in the language of your choice and process the response data accordingly
