Description

Objective: Build a CodePen.io app that is functionally similar to this: https://codepen.io/freeCodeCamp/full/Myvqmo/. Fulfill the below user stories. Use whichever libraries or APIs you need. Give it your own personal style. User Story: I can see whether freeCodeCamp is currently streaming on Twitch.tv. User Story: I can click the status output and be sent directly to the freeCodeCamp's Twitch.tv channel. User Story: if a Twitch user is currently streaming, I can see additional details about what they are streaming. Hint: See an example call to Twitch.tv's JSONP API at http://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/use-the-twitchtv-json-api/19541. Hint: The relevant documentation about this API call is here: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/streams/#get-stream-by-user. Hint: Here's an array of the Twitch.tv usernames of people who regularly stream: ["ESL_SC2", "OgamingSC2", "cretetion", "freecodecamp", "storbeck", "habathcx", "RobotCaleb", "noobs2ninjas"] UPDATE: Due to a change in conditions on API usage explained here Twitch.tv now requires an API key, but we've built a workaround. Use https://wind-bow.glitch.me/twitch-api instead of twitch's API base URL (i.e. https://api.twitch.tv/kraken ) and you'll still be able to get account information, without needing to sign up for an API key. Remember to use Read-Search-Ask if you get stuck. 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.
