⚙️ How it works

🟣 Twitch

The python script calls the Twitch API to get the livestreams in a category. It compares the result with the latest run, stored in streams_list.json to check if there are new livestreams to announce.

If new streams should be announced, it connects to the Discord API to send a message in a specific channel.

📹 Youtube

The python scripts calls the YouTube API to get the new videos after a certain date. The date is read from the last run, and corresponds to the last video found.

It checks to see if there are new videos and if there are, it sends the new videos using the Discord API in a specific channel.
