Twitch Chat Log Downloader

==========================

A quick and dirty tool for downloading a Twitch VODs chat and outputting to a csv (spreadsheet that you can open in

Excel, Google Sheets, etc).

Outputted columns:

* VOD timestamp

* Username

* Message

Batches of messages are loaded in sequence with 0.3 second delays to avoid Twitch from throttling you.

Installation

------------

1. Clone it

2. Switch to the directory 

3. Install required packages

```

git clone https://gitlab.com/gzachariadistwitch/twitch-chat-downloader.git

cd twitch-chat-downloader

npm install

```

Usage

-----

```

npm start --  [-o  | -s]

```

Get the `vodId` by opening the VOD up in a browser, and then copying the number that follows

`https://www.twitch.tv/videos/`.

You can specify the output filename with the optional `-o` parameter.  If left blank, the outputted file will be named

`output-.csv`.  If you do not wish to output to a file, use the `-s` parameter and it will log to std (the 

console) instead.

I suggest you use .log if on Linux systems, .txt or .csv on Windows Systems. But it's up to you. It will output to most if not all text based formats.
