Twitch Spotlight

Currently 95% of streamers on Twitch have 5 viewers or less. As 5% of streamers have most of the audience, this project aims to change that by giving more exposure to small streamers!

Twitch Spotligh is a concept first created by superjp, on a web app called petitstream.com (for french streamers). The idea is simple:

• A random streamer that has 5 viewers or less is chosen and displayed on the website.
• Every 5 minutes a new stream starts, choosing a new random streamer!

This project provides a django server that allows you to setup such a web app for any language.

The first step is to setup the Twitch API app keys. You can do so by setting up the environment variables TWITCH_SPOTLIGHT_APP_ID and TWITCH_SPOTLIGHT_APP_SECRET. You can generate you keys on the Twitch developper console.

On Windows

set TWITCH_SPOTLIGHT_APP_ID=mykeyhere
set TWITCH_SPOTLIGHT_APP_SECRET=mysecretkeyhere

On Linux

export TWITCH_SPOTLIGHT_APP_ID=mykeyhere
export TWITCH_SPOTLIGHT_APP_SECRET=mysecretkeyhere

Install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Migrate models

python manage.py migrate

Running the server

python manage.py runserver

If using VSCode launch settings are available for making migrations, migrating and running the server.
