Proxy Nell

Scraping or accessing Twitch chat data programmatically should be done using Twitch's official API, rather than scraping directly from the website, to ensure compliance with Twitch's terms of service. The official Twitch API provides endpoints for accessing chat information.

Here's a general guide on how you can use the Twitch API to retrieve chat data in Python:

1. Register Your Application:

   • Go to the Twitch Developer Console and create a new application to get your client ID and client secret.

2. Get an OAuth Token:

   • Use your client ID and client secret to obtain an OAuth token. You'll need the chat:read and chat:read:admin scopes for reading chat data.
   • You can use a library like requests to make HTTP requests to Twitch's authentication endpoint.

3. Connect to IRC (Internet Relay Chat):

   • Twitch chat is based on IRC, so you'll need to connect to Twitch's IRC server. You can use a library like irc or irc3 in Python to handle the IRC connection.
   • Connect to the server at irc.chat.twitch.tv on port 6667.

4. Join a Channel:

   • Use the IRC JOIN command to join a specific channel's chat.
   • For example: JOIN #channel_name.

5. Read Chat Messages:

   • Listen for messages in the chat. Twitch chat messages are sent as IRC messages.
   • Parse and process the messages as needed.

Here's a simplified example using the irc library in Python:

import irc.client
import requests

# Obtain OAuth token
client_id = 'your_client_id'
client_secret = 'your_client_secret'
oauth_token_response = requests.post(
    'https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token',
    params={
        'client_id': client_id,
        'client_secret': client_secret,
        'grant_type': 'client_credentials',
        'scope': 'chat:read'
    }
)
oauth_token = oauth_token_response.json()['access_token']

# Connect to IRC
class TwitchChatClient(irc.client.SimpleIRCClient):
    def __init__(self, channel):
        super().__init__()
        self.channel = channel

    def on_welcome(self, connection, event):
        connection.join(self.channel)

    def on_pubmsg(self, connection, event):
        print(f"{event.source.nick}: {event.arguments[0]}")

channel_name = 'your_channel_name'
client = irc.client.IRC().server()
client.connect('irc.chat.twitch.tv', 6667, 'your_bot_nickname', password=f'oauth:{oauth_token}')
client.add_global_handler('all_events', TwitchChatClient(channel_name).on_pubmsg)
client.process_forever()

Before you change your proxy server, you should decide what kind of proxy you would like to install. There are a lot of choices, depending on your needs. Every buyer, when buying a proxy server, is given all the necessary information with the data for access - username and password, port, IP address. Without these data, you can't install and configure the proxy.

To specify the data of a proxy server in the Opera browser, you need to follow the algorithm below:

Open the browser.
Click on the Opera icon in the upper left corner.
Go to "Settings".
Select the "Advanced" option.
Scroll down to the "System" tab.
Click "Open proxy settings for computer".
Click on "Network settings".
Activate the "Use a proxy server" option.
In the tab that opens, specify the IP address of the proxy server. The address must be entered in the field of the protocol to which the proxy server belongs. You can get this information from your proxy provider. Click "OK" to save your settings.

You cannot use a proxy server in Outlook (for security reasons). Therefore, it is possible to organize a local proxy with traffic forwarding through the port. Or you can use third-party tools such as ProxyCap.

To set up a proxy on your computer, you need to go through a simple procedure. If we're talking about Windows 10, you'll first need to open the "Settings" application and the "Network and Internet" section. Here, after opening the "Proxy Server" tab, find the column "Manual proxy server setup" just to the right and move the switch to the "On" position. Enter the IP address and the proxy port in the specified fields and click "Save".
