Add a "variety streamer" view #5

Closed ObserverHerb closed 10 months ago

Streamer QarrenLive requested a list of live variety streamers. We discussed looking through the past 30 days or so of streams from a streamer and looking for more than 3 or so games played.

I don't have a way to access the streamer's About page through the API. I could scrap it using a command line browser, but that's hugely unreliable and rarely worth the effort involved. The API does let me grab the channel's description. That'll do for now.

Strangely enough, Twitch's API does not provide a way to grab historical data for a channel, so I can't just pull a list of recently streamed games. I looked into pulling the recent schedule, since Twitch puts recent broadcasts on the schedule, but this must just be a UI thing because it doesn't show in the data returned by the API. I think looked into pulling recent VODs, but this doesn't include the game played. There is a User Voice open requesting that the information be added to the VODs endpoint. https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310213-developers/suggestions/38155990-return-tags-and-game-id-in-get-videos-in-helix

The clips endpoint does return the game played with the clip, so I'll just use that for now.
