LiveStream_Reddit_Bot

Get top twitch and facebook stream viewers for a game and update the sidebar widget and old reddit sidebar to show your community where to watch.

TO USE

Create a new widget with the shortname of "LiveStreams" on your subreddit

For old reddit. Add the below lines to the sidebar. If the old sidebar does not exist it will fail. The live streams will be populated in these lines.

######Live Streams
[](#startmarker)
**No streams are currently live.**
[](#endmarker)

This can be changed as well, but default to the name above. The POST API endpoint is broken, so you need to manually create the widget to be modified.
