Program to assist with quickly banning lists of bots on Twitch

To build manually you will first need to install Golang.

go install This command will build the program and output the binary as twitch-raidban to your $GOBIN directory. By default this will be ~/go/bin.

Prebuilt binaries are also offered through the releases on this repository for the main operating systems.

To run this program you will need to obtain an oauth token for your user. I typically make use of https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ which is documented as a recommended solution at https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/irc

twitch-raidban -channel mychannel -username mytwitchuser -token myouthtoken -file mybotslist.txt

This command loads the bots file and will parse each line as a name, and then will connect to the given channel and issue /ban commands. It will show output similar to:

Size of list: 200
Processing entry 1/200
Processing entry 2/200
Processing entry 3/200
Processing entry 4/200
Processing entry 5/200
...
Processing entry 200/200
Disconnecting from channel

You can view progress by watching the output counter as well as the list in the channel's twitch chat. The program is not smart enough to check if users are already banned before running but will output any messages from Twitch listing already banned users.
