Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

So what exactly does this do?

random pelican Jan 7, 2025, 2:06 AM

#

it uses a bunch of accounts that i made (alts) to follow a specified channel.

#

using auth tokens of each account

#

on twitch

#

using the twitch api

#

Uh huh. Well, it has the appearance of being against Twitch ToS, so we can't help you on this one.

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

#

how is it against tos?

fair cairn Jan 7, 2025, 2:09 AM

#

Do they permit logging in with many alts in this fashion?

random pelican Jan 7, 2025, 2:10 AM

#

Yes if it is not in malicious use.

fair cairn Jan 7, 2025, 2:10 AM

#

And having many alts follow a channel en masse wouldn't be malicious, then?

#

Or gaming their system in a way they wouldn't agree with?

random pelican Jan 7, 2025, 2:10 AM

#

I'm using it to test my own channel not to use to bomb someone's stream.

#

They allow the twitch api to be used by anyone

#

it is there for a reason.

#

to use and test

#

and for developers

Oh ok... Well I guess I can't get help then

#

fair cairn Jan 7, 2025, 2:13 AM

#

Not judging your actions in any way, you do you. We just can't assist.

random pelican Jan 7, 2025, 2:14 AM

#

Oh ok thanks anyways.
