A Solution To Bring Twitch Streams Together.
A Solution To Bring Twitch Streams Together.
Twitch-Hub is simple twitch API scrubber for building elegant twitch viewing platforms. Its goal is to empower you to be able to build nice looking powerful streaming hubs for your gaming communities.
It works by scrubbing the Twitch API storing the information of streamers that you set in a database. All this while keeping your involvement at a minimum.
You can then can take these elements and build elegant twitch viewing platforms. Click the demo button to see a demo or you can go to our installation page to learn more.
First we want to make a table in our database useing the following scheme.
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Id | Int (255) | No | Primary | Null | Auto_increment |
| stream_display_name | varchar (255) | No | Null | ||
| embed_code | varchar (255) | No | Null | ||
| views | int (255) | No | Null | ||
| pos | Int (255) | No | Null | ||
| time | Int (255) | No | Null |
Or just use this line of code in MySQL to create your table.
CREATE TABLE live_streams (id INT(255) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, stream_display_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, embed_code VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, views INT(255) NOT NULL, pos INT(255) NOT NULL, time INT(255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id));
Then we make a Cronjob to run our scrubbing script every minute storing the info in a MySQL database.
* * * * * cd /var/www/html/exe && ./stream_hub_cron.php >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
Once our Cronjob is made we grab all that info from the database and encode it into a json object.
Finally we take elements from that object to and style it any way we like.
