You can tip me with some sats here!
This is, and always will be, entirely free to use of course!

Rough test setup guide

This is currently intended for testing only.
You need to have git, python, and it's virtualenv module installed.

Clone the repo and cd into it
Create and enable a virtualenv
In the venv, run pip install -r requirements.txt
Get an lntxbot wallet
Get an API key from lntxbot by messaging it /api full
Log in to https://streamlabs.com/
Register an App
As this is an app just for you, you can fill the name, description
phone, and email fields with whatever you want. They are not relevant.
In the "Whitelist Users" field, enter your Twitch username.
In "Redirect URI", enter "http://localhost:6969".
After hitting "Create", leave this page open for now, as it contains
your Client ID and Secret, which you will need in the next step
Run python initial_setup.py and follow the instructions (enter localhost as the IP for now)
Run python wait_for_token.py and leave this running
On the Streamlabs App page, click the link that says "Sample Authentication URL"
towards the bottom of the page
Click "Approve"; this should redirect you to a plain text page that tells you to stop the server
Go back to the terminal that is running wait_for_token.py,
and hit ctrl+c to stop the server
You should now be able to run . ./start_lnbits.sh, which should launch
LNbits in the background, making it reachable at http://localhost:5000/
Run python webhook.py and leave it running in the background
In LNbits, create a wallet, and enable the SatsPayServer extension under "Manage extensions"
In SatsPayServer, hit "NEW CHARGE," and fill out all the required fields
In the "webhook" field, enter http://localhost:5001/
Pay the charge with any lightning wallet
(After hitting "CREATE CHARGE," the charge should appear in a list after
an automatic refresh. On the very left side of that list entry is a small
grey button that will open the payment link in a new tab.)

If everything worked, you should see a new donation pop up here (remember to refresh).
If something went wrong, please submit an issue!

Contributing

I want this to be a project that allows streamers on Twitch to integrate Bitcoin donations
into their on-stream alerts with as little setup as possible.
Things you can help with:

Clarifying steps in the guide, or linking to/writing more detailed guides to get non-technical users up to speed
Writing scripts that would make this run on Windows (in case a streamer opts for self-hosting on Windows)

I'm not at all used to maintaining projects with other contributors, so I don't know, just follow the
common etiquette or whatever if you wanna help :)
I would especially appreciate help with just making things cleaner and more efficient (I'm not a professional),
as well as potentially integrating services other than Streamlabs (not sure if there are any
that are widely used like Streamlabs and actually have an API for this).

Comments

Create LNbits extension
Optimally, parts of this repo should become an LNbits extension:

Most of what is currently in settings.json could be set via UI

API endpoint that serves as redirect for Streamlabs access_token (essentially wait_for_token.py)

webhook.py as background service

The extension should also allow modification of the donation format that is sent here.

The extension's front end would ideally be a simple tipping form that asks for "Name," "Message," and "Amount" in either sats or any of the supported currencies, converting the amount to sats to create an invoice.
Another option that would be great to have available is a Twitch login button that auto-fills the "Name" field, and sets the identifier to a unique ID value, like the Twitch User ID (see here).

I've created a branch to work on this: https://github.com/Fittiboy/lnbits/tree/TwitchAlerts Will be closed by lnbits/lnbits#227

Your tip link doesn't work from BLW

Hi,

I tried to send tip from the BLW wallet (@btcontract - author of the LNURL) but I got the error:

"requirement failed: Action domain mismatch"

From the Blixt wallet - there is everything OK.

I think your chain URLs from LNURL communication has different domains but the LNURL protocol requires to have the same domains (#6 point - "url domain must be the same as callback domain at step 3" in example comment)

Is it your the bug or the BLW?

Integreate StreamElements API

It appears that StreamElements is currently working on providing a nice API. They have a WIP API reference which includes an endpoint to post tips, exactly what is needed to integrate this.

Would be great to have this!

Enable full self-sovereignty
The original purpose of this project was to cut out all middlemen.
To this end, the only change that has to be made is the LNbits funding source.
Two short guides are required for this:
