twitch_banbot

This is just a simple bot joining configured channels and reacting to commands.
If you just want to block accounts for your personal channel, it is recommended to use ComanderRoot https://twitch-tools.rootonline.de/blocklist_manager.php.

This bot does quite the same, but for several channels aaS.

prereq

Make an account on Twitch (for your bot) or use the one you stream with.
Request an oauth code on https://twitchapps.com/tmi/. You'll need to login and give the app permissions to generate it for you.
Register your app with Twitch dev at https://dev.twitch.tv/console/apps/create and request a client-id (so you can interface with Twitch's API)

how to use

Make changes to .env and config.json. These files will be read by the main script commandblock.js in order to get a list of accounts to be banned and channels to join.

Run docker build -t <tag> . to create a docker image or run the following commands to run the bot locally:

npm install dotenv tmi.js sleep console-stamp --save
node commandblock.js

In order to ban accounts from the list, the configured bot account (in .env) needs to have the /mod role on the target channel. The commands can also only be executed by the broadcaster (owner) or a user with mod role. If regulars execute the command the bot will do nothing.

commands

!banrun (opt: info): will show a short help text
!banrun start: will start processing the ban list

updating the blocklist

Just add new entries to the config.json file (bans and channels) and re-run.
