Script close after found an stream

[Taracraft]

Hey there, i want to use an loop for that the script dont terminate.
Situation:
Streams goes online and script tells he is online but if they go offline i must restart the script.
And if he comes Online the script cant tell that he is online again.
custom function i made for clearing the streamingchannel in discord:

#variable section
intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.members = True
intents.messages = True
intents.presences = True
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.all())
g = client.get_guild(xxx)

def channel_clear():
    @client.event
    async def on_ready():
        global g
        arr = [client.get_channel(xxx)]
        for channel in arr:
            print('Clearing messages...')
            await channel.purge(limit=1000)

        else:
            print(channel, 'Keine Einträge gefunden')
            config()
            get_lock()
            authorize()
            main()

and this i tried

if discord_request.status_code == 204:
                    print("Successfully called Discord API. Waiting 5 seconds to terminate...")
                    time.sleep(5)
                    while discord_request.status_code == 204:
                        if len(twitch_json['data']) != 1:
                            print("nicht Online")
                            channel_clear()

Maybe the Loop decorator helps you further.

E.g.
from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(minutes=10)
async def check_twitch():
#your code...

This executes every 10 minutes this function.

For reference look here:

This seems like two separate asks here:

1. Have an option to keep the script running and notify multiple times.
2. Clear old messages in a channel so that there is always at most 1 notification

For 1, the script wasn't really designed to run for a long period of time. It calls the Twitch API every 5 seconds, which makes sense when the stream is about to start, but is a lot of unnecessary traffic otherwise. Especially since it would need to keep calling while they are live to figure out when they are offline and then come online again. Increasing the time would mean a much greater delay in the live notification, and this script was intended to be fast and manually triggered, usually by the streamer, when going live.
This also runs into the issue of if the streamer disconnects, when they reconnect the Discord might get another notification of them going live, even though it's the same stream just after a reconnect. If you wanted this long-lived behaviour, it would be best to have a bot the is subscribed to a Websocket on the Twitch API to receive an event when live, instead of polling. There are existing Discord bots that have this functionality.

For 2, this is certainly something I could do, likely much like the code you linked. I could just add it as an optional config toggle.

The script for clear channels work. My idea is if streamer goes offline and come back online clear first the channel. i have modifed the start toggle see script 1 and the end.
I have Socket from twitch and discord and can manage this with bots but i dont know how i transform your script to twich-token app.
yes i will need a greater delay but i cant figure out how i can check after streamer goes offline thats my problem.

And yes i know that exist many Bots who habe this functionality, but i love your Script and i want to Transform it.
