Twitch RSS Webapp for Google App Engine

This project is a very small web application for serving RSS feed for broadcasts in Twitch. It fetches data from Twitch API and caches in Memcache. The engine is webapp2.

A running version can be tried out at: https://twitchrss.appspot.com/vod/twitch

There is also a VOD only endpoint if you don't want to see ongoing streams which are known to break some readers: https://twitchrss.appspot.com/vodonly/twitch

Caching requests

This service caches requests from twitch for 10 minutes meaning that you will only get new answers once in 10 minutes. Please keep this in mind when polling the service.

Deployment

First you should set your own Twitch API client ID in the app.yaml. See how to deploy on Google App Engine.

Alternatively you can use the provided Dockerfile to build a self hostable Docker image of your own. Set the environment parameters HOST and PORT to specify where the service should listen. Also set the environment variables TWITCH_CLIENT_ID and TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET to your Twitch credentials.

Other things

The project uses a slightly modified Feedformatter to support more tags and time zone in pubDate tag.
