I am experimenting with making my own little discord bot that can get information from Twitch, but I'm stumped on how to make the bot loop and check for a condition.
I want the bot to loop a section of code every few seconds that checks if the specified twitch channel is live.
Code
import discord
from discord.ext import commands, tasks
from twitch import TwitchClient
from pprint import pformat
client = TwitchClient(client_id='<twitch token>')
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$')
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(bot))
@bot.command()
async def info(ctx, username):
response = await ctx.send("Querying twitch database...")
try:
users = client.users.translate_usernames_to_ids(username)
for user in users:
print(user.id)
userid = user.id
twitchinfo = client.users.get_by_id(userid)
status = client.streams.get_stream_by_user(userid)
if status == None:
print("Not live")
livestat = twitchinfo.display_name + "is not live"
else:
livestat = twitchinfo.display_name + " is " + status.stream_type
responsemsg = pformat(twitchinfo) + "
" + livestat
await response.edit(content=responsemsg)
except:
await response.edit(content="Invalid username")
bot.run("<discord token>")
I want the bot to run the following code every 10 seconds, for example:
status = client.streams.get_stream_by_user(<channel id>)
if status == None:
print("Not live")
livestat = twitchinfo.display_name + "is not live"
else:
livestat = twitchinfo.display_name + " is " + status.stream_type
I've tried using @tasks.loop(seconds=10)
to try and make a custom async def
repeat every 10 seconds but it didn't seem to work.
Any ideas?
