accounts-twitch

Meteor.js Accounts package for Twitch.tv accounts

Demo

To see a simple demo/tutorial app made using this package take a look at accounts-twitch-sample-app. It does a better job explaining how it works than this readme does. It is also hosted online http://accounts-twitch.meteor.com/

Install Meteorite
Run mrt add accounts-twitch in a Meteor project.
Run your app with mrt
Alternatively clone the repo to your meteor packages folder, /usr/local/meteor/packages by default on OSX.

Really easy way to allow users to login to your app using their Twitch credentials. Just add Meteor.loginWithTwitch().
Make API calls with all the required headers.

Configure your app to include the application you have registered on Twitch or create a new one. The easiest way to do this is using the {{loginButtons}} helper from the accounts-ui package (remember to meteor add accounts-ui).
Once your app is configured you can let people login either using the {{loginButtons}} helper or by calling Meteor.loginWithTwitch(); directly. Permissions that are asked for can be included e.g. Meteor.loginWithTwitch({ requestPermissions: ['channel_editor'] });.
A user's access token is available server side via Meteor.user().services.twitch.accessToken.
API calls are done using Accounts.twitch.apiCall(method, url, [options], [accessToken]). e.g. to get a user's email address:

var query = Accounts.twitch.apiCall("GET", "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/user", Meteor.user().services.twitch.accessToken);
return query.data.email;
