Unable to request membership

Chat and IRC
1

I am basically copying what this guy does https://github.com/nhempel/Simple-Python-Twitch-IRC-Bot/blob/master/simpleircbot.py

and it works for normal messages, both receiving and sending

also if I send the membership request it seems to be denied

I am sending self.con.send(bytes(‘CAP REQ :twitch.tv/membership’,‘UTF-8’))

and receive :tmi:twitch.tv CAP *NAK :twitch.tv/MEMBERSHIPJOIN # adenylatcyclase

but it even that far it only works if I send the REQ before joining the channel, afterwards I don’t get an answer from the server

i am admin as it is my own channel.
but generally do I have to be to apply for membership?

I am very confused pls help

try:

self.con.send(bytes(‘CAP REQ :twitch.tv/membership\r\n’,‘UTF-8’))

Would seem that you omitted the line ending/terminator based on your receive response

ok it now Acknowlades my request

but upon testing I still don’t get any JOIN or PART messages

also how do I request the names list?

4

How many users in the channel? You won’t get any if it is over 1000.

NAMES is sent on join and cannot be manually requested.

5

the bot itself and a second account with which I join and leave several tiems and send test messages

the messages are instantly received but no part/join

6

Join/part are usually delayed/not instant and don’t work in channels over 1k chatters.

I don’t bother consuming them coz they are either unreliable, or I’m in a channel north of 1k viewers.

It’s not worth the (your) dev time faffing with it.

oh well just found this useful link here https://tmi.twitch.tv/group/user/USERNAMEHERE/chatters
which gives you the users logged into chat and works eve if theres over 1000 viewers

Just a note that tmi is an unsupported/undocumented end point that could break or change at anytime
