This is a small cli tool to search twitch for online streamers that are under the game and development tag.
it will use a client_id and a client_secret to fetch a twitch client_credential token and then use this token to perform a search of the streams currently online on twitch.
To use this you must set TWITCH_CLIENT_ID and TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET as env variables before searching.
You can as the first argument provide a search String to filter the results.

game development) - update blacklist through cli arguments
- add potential config file
- set client id and secret through cli or through external config file
