The helix library provides a Go client for making requests to the Twitch Helix API.
About helix
helix is an open source Go library that acts as a client for the Twitch Helix API. Developers use it to send requests to Twitch from their own Go programs instead of writing the HTTP calls by hand. The repository is hosted on GitHub and includes a list of the endpoints and features the package supports.
The maintainers say they will make a best-effort attempt to add new Twitch API changes as Twitch releases them, so newer or less common endpoints may lag behind. The package supports only Go versions covered by the Go release policy. The maintainers no longer support building it with unsupported Go versions.
