Support for Twitch API

The currently used (depreceated) v5 API returns an error with new client IDs.

{ "error": "Not Found", "status": 404, "message": "The v5 API is deprecated and will be shutdown on February 28, 2022. Applications that have not accessed v5 before July 15, 2021 no longer have access to v5. For more information on the v5 API shutdown plan, see https://blog.twitch.tv/2021/07/15/legacy-twitch-api-v5-shutdown-details-and-timeline/ and the Twitch API documentation at https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api." }

Unfortunately, this can’t be fixed right now. Even Twitch website uses deprecated v5 “API” for chat replays, “helix” API does not have comments endpoint, yet.

@vanyamlb I’ll describe the steps I did and you can try following them.

• Uninstall Twitch-Python and Twitch-Chat-Downloader

pip uninstall twitch-python tcd

• Download the repositories for Twitch-Python and Twitch-Chat-Downloader

git clone https://github.com/PetterKraabol/Twitch-Python.git
git clone https://github.com/PetterKraabol/Twitch-Chat-Downloader.git

• Create a file in the Twitch-Python directory that contains what @m4eba shared in #132 , this is a patch file. Use whatever text editor you prefer, I named the file m4eba-fix.patch
• Ensure your terminal is in the Twitch-Python directory, if you’re in the directory that contains Twitch-Python then you can use cd Twitch-Python to move into it
• Apply @m4eba’s patch file

git apply m4eba-fix.patch

• Ensure that your terminal is in the parent directory that contains Twitch-Python and Twitch-Chat-Downloader, if you were in Twitch-Python then you can move to the parent directory with cd ../
• Install the local repositories with pip

pip install -e Twitch-Python
pip install -e Twitch-Chat-Downloader

I reinstalled both Twitch-Python and Twitch-Chat-Downloader as local copies, though it’s probably not necessary to reinstall Twitch-Chat-Downloader as @m4eba’s fix only changes Twitch-Python.
