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: The relevant documentation about Twitch.tv's JSON API is here: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#get-streams.
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, Twitch.tv requires an API key, but we've built a workaround. Use https://twitch-proxy.freecodecamp.rocks/ 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, include a link to your project on CodePen and click the "I've completed this challenge" button.
You can get feedback on your project by sharing it on the freeCodeCamp forum.
