## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
<strong>Objective:</strong> Build a <a href='https://codepen.io' target='_blank'>CodePen.io</a> app that is functionally similar to this: <a href='https://codepen.io/freeCodeCamp/full/Myvqmo/' target='_blank'>https://codepen.io/freeCodeCamp/full/Myvqmo/</a>.
|
|
Fulfill the below <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_story' target='_blank'>user stories</a>. Use whichever libraries or APIs you need. Give it your own personal style.
|
|
<strong>User Story:</strong> I can see whether freeCodeCamp is currently streaming on Twitch.tv.
|
|
<strong>User Story:</strong> I can click the status output and be sent directly to the freeCodeCamp's Twitch.tv channel.
|
|
<strong>User Story:</strong> if a Twitch user is currently streaming, I can see additional details about what they are streaming.
|
|
<strong>Hint:</strong> The relevant documentation about Twitch.tv's JSON API is here: <a href='https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#get-streams' target='_blank'>https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#get-streams</a>.
|
|
<strong>Hint:</strong> Here's an array of the Twitch.tv usernames of people who regularly stream: <code>["ESL_SC2", "OgamingSC2", "cretetion", "freecodecamp", "storbeck", "habathcx", "RobotCaleb", "noobs2ninjas"]</code>
|
|
<strong>UPDATE:</strong> Due to a change in conditions on API usage, Twitch.tv requires an API key, but we've built a workaround. Use <a href='https://wind-bow.glitch.me' target='_blank'>https://wind-bow.glitch.me/helix</a> instead of twitch's API base URL (i.e. https://api.twitch.tv/helix ) and you'll still be able to get account information, without needing to sign up for an API key.
|
|
When you are finished, click the "I've completed this challenge" button and include a link to your CodePen.
|
|
You can get feedback on your project by sharing it with your friends on Facebook.
