Creating a Bot User

To get started with YamlToBot, you must first create a new Twitch account dedicated to your bot.

Step 1

First, you must sign up for a new Twitch account. Go to the Twitch homepage and create a new account for your bot.

Step 2

Go to the Twitch Developer Dashboard and register a new app.

Give it a name, give it an OAuth Redirect URL of http://127.0.0.1:7090/oauth_authorize_twitch, and set the category to Chat Bot. Then press the "Create" button.

Step 3

You should have been taken back to the Twitch Developer Applications Dashboard. Press the "Manage" button by your new application.

Create a new client secret by pressing the "New Secret" button near the bottom of the page. Write this down, along with your Client ID, in a secure location. Your client secret will not be shown again.

Step 4

Go to this url to get your bot client's OAuth token. Press the "Connect to Twitch button on the main page. After that, your token should be shown on the screen. Write this down along with your client secret and your client id.
