Viewer Analytics

Viewer Analytics is a Twitch panel extension that displays viewer watch habits.

Capabilities

• Places viewers on a leaderboard based on time spent watching the streamer.
• Can have the leaderboard display session, weekly, monthly, yearly, and overall times.
• Clicking on a viewer's name draws a graph displaying their watch habits over the past 10 days.
• Streamers can whitelist their viewers, effectively hiding them from normal viewing on the leaderboard.
• Search functionality allows users to look up any user, even those whitelisted.

Testing Locally

If you want to test the server locally, you're going to need an SSL certificate for HTTPS capabilities. I used Let's Encrypt.
The steps are as follows:

1. Be sure you have the dependencies installed.
2. In the Viewer-Analytics folder, create a directory called conf.
3. Store your private key and certificate chain (if you're using Let's Encrypt, privkey.pem and fulllchain.pem) in Viewer-Analytics/conf.
4. Change directories to Viewer-Analytics/backend.
5. Use the provided config-example.json as a reference to create your own config.json file.
6. Run node backend.js
