About The Project

So I needed a way to download all VODs by a certain Twitch streamer and not just once but periodically. So in typical Developer fashion I decided to spend multiple hours automating this process rather than getting started doing it manually.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• Python requests module

  pip install requests

Installation

1. Clone the repo
2. Download the latest TwitchDownloader from here
3. Place the .exe file into the same folder as the python script
4. Create a Twitch Application here
5. Copy the Client ID and the Client Secret into the Python file

(back to top)

Usage

• Open the File in any Text Editor
• Add the Channel Name from which you want to Download the VODs at the Top
• (optional) create a last.txt file with a Date (format: dd.mm.yyyy) to only download VODs AFTER this date
• Open CMD or any other type of Terminal and run the file
• If you followed all of the steps it should start downloading the VODs one after another and place them in seperate subfolders for each day. It will include full Chat logs by default

Roadmap

• Check the current directory for already downloaded VODs

See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).
