[help] getting errors with twitch api - mIRC Discussion Forums

Didn't think reviving an old thread would be a good idea

In the past week or so the twitch API hasn't been working. Always says could not set topic or could not follow. I have not made any edits to the twitch.mrc, but i did move it over to an actual cloud server (aws.amazon.com). Could there be some ports i need to open or do anything in the server to get the the twitch api working?

also:
i tried totally redownloading twitch.mrc AND using a whole new registered application, still no luck

I am also having the same issue, but what the script is not the issue, but the JSON parsing.
For some reason that I haven't been able to find out yet, json.mrc is not able to parse the response from twitch api anymore

works fine for me. i tried the justin api tho

If I parse directly from a url, it works fine. But if it saves the data to a text file then the parsing fails

The script did not originally support chunked transfer encoding which Twitch seemed to use even when requesting HTTP/1.0; this resulted in corrupt files. If you grab and replace the sockread event from github it should work again.

If that is not the case, you need to find the line it's failing at and come up with a reproducible example.

i feel like i need to open some port on my server since i get an instant "could not set status", not delayed where it's trying. I opened the HTTPS 443 port (inbound and outbound) through the windows firewall and server firewall, but still gives instant error.

I think getting an instant reply indicates that there was no socket error, but an error in the response. Why don't you check how far you're getting and what's in the file?

i don't get what you mean by

what's in the file?

i don't see it writing to any file, also removing the

Code:

  .remove %header | .remove %data

in signal topic.set doesn't do anything, so it looks like it doesn't get to the signal.

Code:

    hadd %sockname signal topic.set

looks like the signal topic.set needs some input there..

Code:

  var %err = $1, %sockname = $2, %header = $3, %data = $4

don't know if you need to input some stuff but i basically see that as a alias
