This is a python project to send a Discord webhook with a self-updating webhook when a specified streamer goes live on Twitch.
Checks and updates exactly once every half minute.

The motivation behind this project is that requiring discord.js or the twitch api library is too much in my opinion. Doing this requires 7 API calls, including the really basic authentication in twitch's case.

All options to run this require environment variables. You can see them in this file.
