Fork from https://github.com/marcsances/no-more-twitch-bots Disclaimer: i'm not a programmer and i pretty much chatGPT my way with this, use at your own risk updated the client id to the one used by https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ updated to a more recent version of twitch api because the old one was outdated and the original script wouldn't work
Extremely simple script that will automatically ban all lurker Twitch bots that add up into your viewer list on Twitch but do absolutely nothing (except spamming).
Bot list to ban is extracted from Twitch Insights API.
Clone the project, install requirements as usual:
git clone [email protected]:marcsances/no-more-twitch-bots.git
cd no-more-twitch-bots
python -m pip install requirements.txtRegister a chatbot app on Twitch Developers, get the client ID.
Get a bot token here https://twitchapps.com/tmi/. Make sure to log in as a user with mod privileges in your channel. No need to be yourself.
Go to main.py and edit the variables in uppercase:
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| USERNAME | The username for which you generated a token |
| CHANNEL | The channel where the bans should be applied |
| CLIENT_ID | The chatbot app client ID generated on Twitch Devleopers |
| TOKEN | The bot token you created on the second link |
| WHITELIST | List of bots that should not be banned (moobot, etc) |
| DEBUG | Set to true if you want to see what is going on through IRC |
| THRESHOLD | Minimum amount of channels where the bot is present to be banned |
That's it, once configured, run with:
python main.pyand enjoy
You can rollback all the bans by changing line 42 from self.ban(entry[0]) to self.unban(entry[0]).
Yeah all bots are taken into account. It would actually take half a year to ban every single bot (threshold=0), that's why Threshold is a thing.
Try again, sometimes IRC just fails to initialize
Add it to the whitelist so it's not banned anymore. Make sure that you add all your bots to the whitelist before proceeding.
Unban the bot in your channel and no worries.
Do whatever.
