THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL, FAN-MADE WRAPPER. IT IS IN NO WAY ENDORSED BY TWITCH.TV

What is It?

Swift Twitch is a library intended for client-facing applications interaction with the New Twitch API, Helix. This library aims to ease API interaction by returning typed data values to help you finish your application without headaches. For example, after a non-empty Get Videos call, you can do the following:

let firstVideoData: VideoData = getVideosData.videoData.first!
let title: String = firstVideoData.title
let viewCount: Int = firstVideoData.viewCount

❤️ Pull requests are very welcome ❤️

Example Usage

import SwiftTwitch

class AwesomeClass {
    func spectacularFunction() {
        TwitchTokenManager.shared.accessToken = "$SomeValidToken"

        let user1Id = "1234"
        let user2Id = "5678"
        Twitch.Users.getUsersFollows(followerId: user1Id, followedId: user2Id) { result in 
            switch result {
            case .success(let getUsersFollowsData):
                /* If the total = 1, we know that user1 is following user2 
                   as it is documented in the Twitch API docs. */
                if getUsersFollowsData.total == 1 {
                    print("User \(user1Id) is following user \(user2Id)!")
                } else {
                    print("User \(user1Id) is not following user \(user2Id)")
                }
            case .failure(let data, let response, let error):
                print("The API call failed! Unable to determine relationship.")
            }
        }
    }
}

Get Started

I don't have an access token!

In order to use this library, you must first have an application register on the Twitch Developer portal. You can register your application quickly on Twitch's official application creation dashboard. After this step, there are two methods to retrieving API keys.

Manually Retrieve Access Token

To manually retrieve an access token, please utilize this guide by Twitch.

Automatically Retrieve Access Token

I'm in the process of creating an pain-free way to retrieve tokens with a separate library! Feel free to email me at [email protected] and I'll inform you when the library is public.

I have my access token, now what?

Now that you have an access token, you can provide it to the application in the following manner:

TwitchTokenManager.shared.accessToken = "$Your_Token"

Once this command is run, all of your API calls are now automatically authenticated! Now go make some API calls. :)

I still have questions!

For Twitch Swift support, feel free to open up an issue. For API-based support, please visit The Twitch Developer Forums

Example Project

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory. After that, open the resulting .xcworkspace file and go nuts!

The example project is a simple Videos browser for a pre-selected user on Twitch. To run the example project properly, you will need an access token. Set this access token in TwitchVideosTableViewController's viewDidLoad method.

Installation

1. Install CocoaPods

2. Add this repo to your Podfile

   target 'Example' do
   	# IMPORTANT: Make sure use_frameworks! is included at the top of the file
   	use_frameworks!
   
   	pod 'SwiftTwitch'
   end

3. Run pod install in the podfile directory from your terminal

4. Open up the .xcworkspace that CocoaPods created

5. Done!
