Error: Update Twitch API calls from kraken to helix

[teklynk]

I have noticed this error pop up in the console and wonder if you plan up update the code base to use Twitch's newest API?

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/chat/emoticon_images?emotesets=0,195,97129,1073823,1302071,1377454,300041011,300064768,300238127,300374282,301946180,302021587,302171202,302666165,303318214,303564396,304399150,304785583,304903283,305172207,305284842,335815404,336504477,348931199,350336522,357779709,387056906,392173392,401316456,404071614,449382437,457076579,457549466,471688622,472873131,475694133,477339272,537206155,564265402,592920959,610186276,1507660650,2118550398

Set the option options.skipUpdatingEmotesets to true to prevent this error.

const client = new tmi.Client({
  options: {
    skipUpdatingEmotesets: true,
    ...
  },
  ...
});

Thanks. That seems to have fixed it. However, there are still some references to the kraken api in the code. Will that be updated soon?

If you're referring to api.js (available at client.api), that's unused by the library and is only available for backwards compatibility and comes with a warning when used. It only makes a Kraken request under the conditional that it doesn't match a full URL regular expression, so I don't expect it to be a massive issue. It's not something for the library to solve.

[teklynk]

I think so? I did a search inside tmi.js for "kraken" and found 2 results. I do not see the issue on my production environment, only on my localhost (http://localhost/webapp/).
