The agent queries the Twitch GraphQL API to retrieve the stream data for each channel, focusing on the presence and value of the stream object. It uses this to determine whether a channel is live or offline. Results are then logged and can trigger alerts. The process is designed to be lightweight and resilient to intermittent API responses.

Yes. The agent supports monitoring multiple Twitch channels by iterating over a configured channel list. It can schedule checks at configurable intervals and batch results for logging and alerts. This makes it scalable for creators, teams, or communities tracking several streams simultaneously.

The query interval is configurable, typically ranging from every few minutes to longer intervals depending on needs and rate limits. The agent can space requests to respect Twitch API quotas while still providing timely live-status updates.

Alerts are delivered to configured destinations such as Discord, X/Twitter, or Slack via webhooks or native integrations. Content and trigger conditions can be customized, including the alert title, message, and streams mentioned. This ensures alerts match your brand voice and audience expectations.

Yes. You can configure multiple destinations so a single live event emits notifications to all required channels. This can be useful for cross-posting or multi-team coordination. The agent handles delivery to each destination independently to ensure reliability.

The agent is designed to handle retries and backoff in case of transient errors. It can queue checks and maintain a local cache of recent results to avoid thrashing. In outage scenarios, it will log failures and alert on the degraded state so teams can respond.

Yes. Status history is stored in a centralized logging store, enabling trend analysis and auditing. You can query past live/offline events, durations, and timestamps to understand audience engagement and streaming patterns.
