[Twitch] Sockets/API help - mIRC Discussion Forums

Is there any really good in-depth sockets tutorials on YouTube or in a written step-by-step pdf file? I've been reading the written one by the dev of mIRC but I just don't get it

Sockets are completely new thing to me and I learn faster by watching video so it would be awesome if there's a tutorial on YouTube. I'm trying to use the decapi for things like uptime and the latest tweet and youtube vid.

What I currently have(Not sure if its correct. This is all I know about sockets):

Code:

alias uptime {
  sockopen -e uptime decapi.me 443
}

on *:SOCKOPEN:uptime: {
  sockwrite -nt $sockname GET $+(/twitch/uptime.php?channel=woby_tv) HTTP/1.1
  sockwrite -nt $sockname Host: decapi.me
  sockwrite $sockname $crlf
}

Wikichip/mirc/ handles all mIRC Scripting topics except binary variables.

If you are intention is to hit the Twitch API, you can use My JSON Parser to easily make requests and retrieve data out of the response.

I also have a few scripts to make dealing with twitch a bit easier called mTwitch(they depend on the json parser above). With mTwitch.Core.mrc and mTwitch.StateToTopic.mrc there are custom events raised through signal to indicate things like stream online/offline:

Code:

on *:SIGNAL:mTwitch.StreamOnline:{
  echo -a $1 is online
}

on *:SIGNAL:mTwitch.StreamOffline:{
  echo -a $1 is offline
}
