How to Detect if a Twitch Channel is Currently Broadcasting with Python?

I’m working on a project where I need to monitor whether specific Twitch channels are currently streaming or offline. I want to create a Python script that can automatically check the live status of streamers.

I’ve been searching for solutions but I’m not sure what’s the best approach. Should I use the Twitch API or are there other methods available? I need this to work reliably and preferably without too much complexity.

I’m planning to deploy this on Google App Engine, so the solution needs to be compatible with that environment. Any suggestions on libraries or APIs that work well for this kind of streaming status detection would be really helpful.

Has anyone implemented something similar before? What would be the most efficient way to handle this?

i totally agree, the Twitch API is the way to go! i’ve done similar stuff & the Helix API integrates well with google app engine. just look for the stream data, if it’s empty they’re offline. way more efficient than scraping, trust me!
