@SKY95 welcome to the community.

Could you please elaborate? What do you want to do with the Twitch API?

First of all, just information from yourself. Channel  
When I go live or when I reach a certain follower.

Should end up giving a notification when someone is streaming.  
As mail, discord …

@SKY95 Just checked the Twitch webhook API and the webhooks expire after 24 hours. So basically it has to be renewed every 24 hours. So the setup for this it’s not as straight foward as a webhook that does not expire. The other issue is Twitch API just works with OAuth2 and the webhook node currently does not support OAuth2 authentication. So to make this posible there is some work that has to be done on the n8nn side. I will keep you posted.

@RicardoE105 Would anything other than webhook come into question? That load the same information?
