# twitch-chatlog
[](https://codecov.io/gh/freaktechnik/twitch-chatlog)
Fetch the chatlog to a Twitch VOD from your command line with `twitch-chatlog`.
This little command can download the whole chat log to a twitch VOD. It takes the ID of the VOD (1111111 or similar) as only argument. To learn about the usage of the command, use `twitch-chatlog -h`.
The output can optionally be colored with `-c` or `--color` or by setting an environment variable `TWITCH_CHATLOG_COLOR`.
To make use of your own Twitch application client ID, you may provide it as a command line option `-C` or `--client-id` or set an environment variable `TWITCH_CHATLOG_CLIENT_ID`. The default value for client ID is not guaranteed to work [past 08 Aug 2016](https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/client-id-requirement-faqs/6108), in which case you will have to supply your own.
To control the part of the chat log to fetch, `--start`, `--length` and `--end` can be used. See the usage section below. By default the command will only fetch the first ten minutes of chat log to minimize the amount of requests.
## Installation
```sh
npm install -g twitch-chatlog
```
## Usage
```
Fetch the chat log to a Twitch VOD.
Usage: twitch-chatlog
vod_id is the ID from the VOD URL, optionally prefixed with v (deprecated).
Options:
-c, --color Colorize output [boolean] [default: false]
-C, --client-id Twitch application client ID [string] [default: (Client-ID)]
-l, --length Amount of time from the log to fetch in seconds. Gets
shortened to the VOD length if bigger. 0 loads everything but
is not recommended. The output will run until the next end of
a log fragment. [number] [default: (10 min)]
-s, --start Start time. Can either be a time relative to the VOD start or
actual time. [string] [default: "00:00:00"]
-e, --end End time. Alternative to specifying a length. A time like for
start. [string]
-r, --raw Print the raw JSON output instead of a formatted chat log.
[boolean] [default: false]
-h, --help Show help [boolean]
-v, --version Show version number [boolean]

This program uses an unofficial Twitch API that may stop working at any point. It also potentially sends a lot of requests in quick succession, which might lead to Twitch taking measures against it and thus the program and/or your Twitch experience being reduced.
