Twitch Chat Monitor

Twitch Chat Monitor. Monitors Twitch chat and outputs matching regex using Selenium & BeautifulSoup. Written in Python3.

Limitations

  • Only press ctrl+c ONCE to exit. Pressing it multiple times could leave the browser driver to run in the background even though program is closed.
  • Currently only works with popout chats
  • Only tested on Windows. May need modification for other OSs.

Requirements

  • Chrome Browser
  • Chrome Driver
  • Python 3 & pip (or some variant)
  • Dependencies in requirements.txt

How It Works

  • It scans through Twitch Chat and looks for matches of regex in "keywords.txt"
  • Add regex to this file and seperate with new lines
  • Once a match is found it will output the username and the message that matched.
  • Messages stored in array will flush at around 5000~ messages to reduce ram usage.

To Build & Run (assuming you have py3)

  1. Download ZIP or clone repository

  2. Install dependencies

    • pip install -r requirements.txt

  3. Download chrome driver

    • https://chromedriver.chromium.org/
    • Be sure your downloaded driver is the same version as the regular chrome browser you have installed. you can check chrome version by going to help>about chrome
    • Unzip and place .exe in the folder: drivers/chrome

  4. Open CMD in program directory and run:

    • python run.py

To Do

  • Executable?
  • Add more driver support
  • Clean up code / user input
