# Twitch (plugin)
Twitch chat support via IRC connection. Clawdbot connects as a Twitch user (bot account) to receive and send messages in channels. Requires a Twitch application with OAuth token.
Twitch chat support via IRC connection. Clawdbot connects as a Twitch user (bot account) to receive and send messages in channels.
Status: ready for Twitch chat via IRC connection with @twurple.
## Quick setup (beginner)
1) Install the Twitch plugin and create a Twitch application.
2) Generate your OAuth token (recommended: use [Twitch Token Generator](https://twitchtokengenerator.com/)).
3) Set the token for Clawdbot:
- Env: `CLAWDBOT_TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN=...` (default account only)
- Or config: `channels.twitch.accounts.default.token`
- If both are set, config takes precedence (env fallback is default-account only).
4) Start the gateway.
5) The bot joins your channel and responds to messages.
Minimal config:
```json5
{
channels: {
twitch: {
enabled: true,
accounts: {
default: {
username: "clawdbot", // Bot's Twitch account
token: "oauth:abc123...", // Or omit to use CLAWDBOT_TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN env var
clientId: "your_client_id_here",
channel: "vevisk" // Which Twitch channel's chat to join
}
}
}
}
}
```
**Note:** `username` is the bot's account, `channel` is which chat to join.
## How it works
1. Create a Twitch application and bot account (or use an existing account).
2. Configure Clawdbot with `channels.twitch.accounts.default.token` (or `CLAWDBOT_TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN` as a fallback).
3. Run the gateway; it auto-starts the Twitch channel when a token is available (config first, env fallback) and `channels.twitch.enabled` is not `false`.
4. The bot joins the specified `channel` to send/receive messages.
5. Direct chats collapse into the agent's main session (default `agent:main:main`); each account maps to an isolated session key `agent:<agentId>:twitch:<accountName>`.
**Key distinction:** `username` is who the bot authenticates as (the bot's account), `channel` is which chat room it joins.
## Plugin required
Twitch ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.

## Setup
1) Install the Twitch plugin:
- From npm: `clawdbot plugins install @clawdbot/twitch`
- From a local checkout: `clawdbot plugins install ./extensions/twitch`
### 1) Create a Twitch application
- Go to [Twitch Developer Console](https://dev.twitch.tv/console)
- Click "Register Your Application"
- Set Application Type to "Chat Bot"
- Copy the **Client ID**
2) Create a Twitch application:
- Go to [Twitch Developer Console](https://dev.twitch.tv/console)
- Click "Register Your Application"
- Set Application Type to "Chat Bot"
- Copy the Client ID
### 2) Generate your OAuth token (recommended: Twitch Token Generator)
- Use [Twitch Token Generator](https://twitchtokengenerator.com/)
- Select scopes: `chat:read` and `chat:write`
- Copy the token (starts with `oauth:`)
3) Generate your OAuth token:
- Use [Twitch Token Generator](https://twitchtokengenerator.com/) or [TwitchApps TMI](https://twitchapps.com/tmi/)
- Select scopes: `chat:read` and `chat:write`
- Copy the token (starts with `oauth:`)

4) Configure credentials:
- Env: `CLAWDBOT_TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN=...` (default account only)

- If both are set, config takes precedence (env fallback is default-account only)
```bash
export CLAWDBOT_TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN=oauth:your_token_here

5) Start the gateway. Twitch starts when a token is resolved (config first, env fallback).
6) Invite the bot to your channel (it will auto-join the channel specified in config).

## Token setup
### 5) Join a channel
The bot joins the channel specified in `channel`.
### Option 1: Static token (simple)
## Token refresh (optional, recommended for long-running bots)
Use [Twitch Token Generator](https://twitchtokengenerator.com/):
1. Select scopes: `chat:read` and `chat:write`
2. Copy the token (starts with `oauth:`)
3. Add to config:
```json5

channels: {
twitch: {
accounts: {
default: {
username: "mybot",
token: "oauth:abc123...",
clientId: "your_client_id"
}
}
}
}
}
```
### Option 2: Automatic token refresh (recommended)
For long-running bots, configure RefreshingAuthProvider:
For long-running bots, configure automatic token refresh to avoid expired tokens:
1. Use [Twitch Token Generator](https://twitchtokengenerator.com/) with **"Include Refresh Token"** checked
2. Get your Client Secret from [Twitch Developer Console](https://dev.twitch.tv/console)

## Access control
## Routing model
- Replies always go back to Twitch.
- Each account maps to `agent:<agentId>:twitch:<accountName>`.
### Allowlist by User ID (recommended)
## Multi-account support
Most secure: only allow specific Twitch user IDs:
Use `channels.twitch.accounts` with per-account tokens and optional `name`. See [`gateway/configuration`](/gateway/configuration#telegramaccounts--discordaccounts--slackaccounts--signalaccounts--imessageaccounts) for the shared pattern.
Example (one bot account in two different channels):
```json5
{
channels: {
twitch: {
accounts: {
default: {
username: "mybot",
ninjaChannel: {
username: "clawdbot",
