How to get Twitch's list of certain streamers

What’s your coding background?

A bit of everything, now I’m spending a lot of time on that website, trying to make a lot of things, php/html/css. Got sidebar with twitter widget to work, but I wonder about that twitch thing. Why, is it a hard thing to do?

I’m not familiar with that API, do you know if it uses GET?

https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/v3_resources/streams.md

It appears to me that it does.

Sounds easy then ?? Are you thinking of doing this in PHP or JS?

I’d rather go with PHP, as I’ve got a bit more experience with it, and looking at the code would mean something to me. When it comes to writing in JS, it doesn’t seem that simple to me.

But if there are any big advantages when doing it in one or the other, then I’m all ears ??

PHP is probably better so that the data is there on the page without faffing around.

Personally, I would mess about with a test .php file outside of WordPress to begin with. You can put it in the root of WordPress, where wp-config.php lives. Or somewhere else on your server. Then try and get some basic calls and responses working….. Look at this guy’s file https://github.com/IBurn36360/Twitch_Interface/blob/master/Twitch%20Interface/twitch_interface.php

Ok, PHP sounds good.

So everything, including these calls and responses is in this file? All I have to do is get through these 4 thousand lines of code? My JS knowledge is very small. sorry for that.

You don’t have to go through that code. You can use vanilla PHP to grab the API stuff.

So I found this, and tried to make it work

I put index part into my sidebar, and it shows names in a list on the index page. I put fo_twitch.js and .php files in the same spot as other files and I change the jquery script src to https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js cause dude said to include it.

It doesn’t show Online or Offline by the side of the names, like it should have
Any clue how can I fix it? It’s supposed to be easy, but apparently I’m too big of a newbie to do it
