Notification for expired session token

[zaneshaw]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The session token from /config/twitch_oauth.txt will eventually expire, which results in ads playing in streams that I'm subscribed to. Really annoying to record a live capture with ads, then find that the original vod is muted on twitch so I can't download it with intact audio.

I actually got Invalid data received from streamlink but that might be unrelated.

Describe the solution you'd like
A new notification for when the session token expires. (e.g. check every 3 hours?)

Describe alternatives you've considered
Writing my own script to notifiy me when my session token expires using twitch's /oauth2/validate endpoint.

Do you by chance have that script made? If so, can you send me a copy on Discord?

This is a simple script I wrote to check the validity of a Twitch access token.
Just input your token and your Discord webhook URL — if the token becomes invalid, the script will automatically send a notification to your Discord channel.

import requests
import time

# Configuration
TWITCH_TOKEN = "Token" 
DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL = "WEBHOOK_URL"
CHECK_INTERVAL = 3600  # seconds, 1 hour

def is_token_valid(token):
    headers = {"Authorization": f"OAuth {token}"}
    resp = requests.get("https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/validate", headers=headers)
    return resp.status_code == 200

def send_discord_alert(webhook_url, message):
    data = {
        "content": f"@everyone {message}"
    }
    resp = requests.post(webhook_url, json=data)
    return resp.status_code == 204 or resp.status_code == 200

def main():
    while True:
        print("Starting Twitch token validation...")
        valid = is_token_valid(TWITCH_TOKEN)
        if valid:
            print("Token is still valid")
        else:
            print("Token has expired! Sending Discord alert...")
            send_discord_alert(
                DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL,
                "Twitch Access Token has expired, please check it ASAP!"
            )
            # You can choose to exit the program here or continue checking
            # break
        time.sleep(CHECK_INTERVAL)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
