RSS Feed for games

Is possible to implement this? For example, if anyone starts a stream for determined game it get an rss entry, just like this page: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/(game name)

Looking at the API it is certainly possible. I'll have to experiment with the cache because the rate of change is very different from vods. Also my App Engine service is hitting some limits so we'll see. I'll run some tests later.

Thanks for the reply!

Any news about this? I could do some basic tests if you want (i have a spare rpi3 with raspian w/o graphic interface, plus python, node and java

I didn't have time to dig into it. :(

Just to clarify: there are two things that can be done with a twitch API without increasing the complexity too much:

• Listing all vods for a particular game. This will list ongoing streams (as now). Using: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-videos
• Listing all current streams for a particular game. This will be lossy without an actual database, meaning that between two requests a streamer go live and offline you'll miss the entry for that stream. Using: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-streams
