Hi, just wanted to mention that this is maybe an issue with twitch shutting down the http://tmi.twitch.tv/group/user/CHANNEL_NAME/chatters endpoint => https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/legacy-chatters-endpoint-shutdown-details-and-timeline-april-2023/43161 The last update on twitchinsights was on April 3rd.

I guess there will be no update or patch comming from twitchinsights.

There are only 2 ways of getting the current chatters in a channel

• use a bot to join all live channels and collect the chatters (oh the irony)
• use the https://api.twitch.tv/helix/chat/chatters endpoint (requires broadcaster/moderator token)

The only updated list i could find was https://streamscharts.com/tools/bots I don't know how they are doing it, but their list is pretty much up to date.

Edit: looks like twitchinsights is back and up to date

Hi everyone,

First, I'd like to thank you all for your continues interest and use of my projects, especially my viewerlist bot-tracker.
This tool has been among one of the most requested and used tools I've built, with an average request count of ~5 per second (just for the bots-online list alone).

On [April 3rd](https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/legacy-chatters-endpoint-shutdown-details-and-timeline-april-2023/43161), Twitch did shutdown the TMI chatters endpoint which was used to fetch chatterlists across all Twitch and in turn broke this tool.
At this point I wasn't sure if I'd go ahead and try different ways to track bots again because this will become a bit more tricky now.

Over the course of the past two weeks, I received *loads* of messages from you all.
I do get messages daily across [Twitch](https://twitch.tv/alphaduplo), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/alphaduplo), Discord and even Steam asking if I could please revive this tool, showing the huge demand I've never expected.
I thought about new possible methods and a few came to my mind. One I will be using as long as it works for now.

Sooo... Long story short: This tool is back for now! Yay! :D
What would be a better date than today to share the news, right?
I hope this will help a lot of communities again, as that's the reason I built it at all - And I'm sorry for the downtime!
Please let me know via my socials if you see any issues or have any questions.

Thanks,
- AlphaDuplo
