Developing an Up-to-date Julia Twitch API

[TheCedarPrince]

Background

Beginning with issue #2 , the question of how best to ping the Twitch API arose. As determined in issue #2, we decided the best way to do this would be to use the TwitchTools.jl packages created by @wookay (proposed solution 1).

Problem

However, on closer inspection by @Wikunia the API wrapper developed in TwitchTools.jl is an old out of date version. The current API version was determined to be v3. Though one can update to v5, this whole current framework for Twitch is being replaced by a bespoke "new" Twitch API framework (reference here].

Therefore, there is an emphatic need to build the next-generation Julia wrapper for the Twitch API!

Next steps

@Wikunia, could you describe what needs to be done with developing the next-gen Julia Twitch wrapper? Maybe as a break down into a to-do list so people can assist? @wookay, do you have any thoughts about what to do? Thanks everyone! 😃

That should be enough for the first version, right?

I think this would be absolutely perfect for a first version! Thank you so much for the find @dact221 , @Wikunia and the original discoverer @abelsiqueria! I will link this over to the project road map! 😃
