See [documentation](https://docs.rs/twitch_api) for more info.

You can see current unpublished docs for the main branch here: [![local-docs]](https://twitch-rs.github.io/twitch_api/twitch_api)

See [examples](./examples) for examples. If you want to run them locally,
make sure you [get the git submodules](./CONTRIBUTING.md#fetching-the-git-submodules) first.

```rust ,no_run
use twitch_api::helix::HelixClient;
use twitch_api::twitch_oauth2::{AccessToken, UserToken};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static>> {
    // Create the HelixClient, which is used to make requests to the Twitch API
    let client: HelixClient<reqwest::Client> = HelixClient::default();
    // Create a UserToken, which is used to authenticate requests
    let token = UserToken::from_token(&client, AccessToken::from("mytoken")).await?;

    println!(
        "Channel: {:?}",
        client.get_channel_from_login("twitchdev", &token).await?
    );

    Ok(())
}

## Notes

This crate was previously available as `twitch_api2` and has since been renamed to `twitch_api`

## Goals

This crate aims to target

- [Helix](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference)
  - See [implemented endpoints](https://github.com/twitch-rs/twitch_api/wiki/Implemented-Features#helix)
- [EventSub](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/eventsub/eventsub-reference)
  - See [implemented eventsub Helix endpoints](https://github.com/twitch-rs/twitch_api/wiki/Implemented-Features#eventsub)
- [Extensions](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/extensions/reference)
  - No functionality implemented yet
- [PubSub](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/pubsub) (without a client)
  - See [implemented topics](https://github.com/twitch-rs/twitch_api/wiki/Implemented-Features#pubsub)
  - PubSub [is deprecated](https://discuss.dev.twitch.com/t/legacy-pubsub-deprecation-and-shutdown-timeline/58043), replaced with EventSub websockets

There are no current plans to support

- [GraphQL](https://github.com/mauricew/twitch-graphql-api)
- [Drops](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/drops) (except what is in Helix)
- [Twitch IRC Chat](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/irc), use [museun/twitch_message](https://github.com/museun/twitch_message) or [robotty/twitch-irc](https://github.com/robotty/twitch-irc-rs/)
- [Authentication](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/authentication), use [twitch-rs/twitch_oauth2](https://github.com/twitch-rs/twitch_oauth2)
- Undocumented Helix endpoints, i.e endpoints mobile Twitch app uses. Including [working "hidden" endpoints](https://thomassen.sh/twitch-api-endpoints/)
