Check if a Twitch Stream is Live

Introduction:

This workflow template helps you determine if a Twitch user's stream is currently live or offline.

Setup Instructions:

The Document node holds the sample Twitch username you wish to check, you may adapt it in your workflow by replacing this with a chain that contains the Twitch username you want to check. This value is passed to the GraphQL node query as $('Document').item.json.twitch so make sure to change this based on your workflow.

How it Works:

The important nodes here are the GrapQL and IF nodes. The GrapQL queries the Twitch API, and then the output returns a document with the stream property. The IF node then checks if this property has a value, if null means the user is offline, otherwise the user is online or live.

Common Use Cases: You can use this with other workflow templates to post live stream alerts to Twitter/X, Bluesky, and Discord via webhooks, etc to notify your community to join youR stream. You may also use an LLM node to write a custom alert based on the value of property title

How to adjust this template If you want to check a list of Twitch channels, you can simply exchange the Document set node in the beginning with your list of channels.
