Automatically ban recent followers or a list of users.

Origin: In case you get a bot/hate raid you can use the following program to ban all of them automatically.

1. Create credentials.json by copying credentials_example.json and inserting your own clientId and clientSecret after registering an application to the Twitch dev console

   

   {
        "$schema":  "./src/credentials.schema.json",
        "clientId": "GET THIS FROM https://dev.twitch.tv/console/apps",
        "clientSecret": "GET THIS FROM https://dev.twitch.tv/console/apps",
        "scopes": [
            "chat:read",
            "chat:edit",
            "moderator:read:followers",
            "moderator:manage:banned_users"
        ],
        "redirectPort": 7270
    }

2. Create arguments.json by copying arguments_example.json and inserting your own channelName, banReason, userNamesToBan and the number of minutes where followers should be banned (banUsersWhoFollowedInTheLastMinutes)

    {
        "$schema":  "./src/arguments.schema.json",
        "channelName": "TODO Insert your own channel",
        "banReason": "TODO Delete or add your own reason",
        "userNamesToBan": [],
        "banUsersWhoFollowedInTheLastMinutes": 20,
        "dryRun": true,
        "verbose": true
    }

   Run this program at least once with dryRun = true to verify that the right followers will be banned!

3. Run the program using the following commands:

   npm install
   npm run compile
   npm run dist
   npm run start

You can build a standalone binary of this project using the following commands:

npm install
npm run compile
npm run dist
npm run pkg

Which can then be run using the following commands:

# Linux
./bin/banbots-linux-x64

# Windows
.\bin\banbots-win-x64.exe
