PyPI Package Disguised as Instagram Growth Tool Harvests User Credentials
A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
github.com/kelr/go-twitch-api
Gundyr provides an easy to use interface to the Helix Twitch API and Twitch PubSub.
It handles both app access as well as user access tokens. All tokens used are automatically refreshed.
This is a work in progress and not all Helix or PubSub endpoints are supported yet.
$ go get github.com/kelr/gundyr
Documentation can be found at godoc. Examples can be found in the examples directory.
cfg := &gundyr.HelixConfig{
ClientID: clientID,
ClientSecret: clientSecret,
}
c, err := gundyr.NewHelix(cfg)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
userID, err := c.UserToID("kyrotobi")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Println(userID)
If an OAuth2 token is not provided to HelixConfig, authentication will attempt to use the OAuth2 Client Credentials flow to obtain a App Access token.
// See examples/auth_token.go on creating/retrieving tokens.
cfg := &gundyr.HelixConfig{
ClientID: clientID,
ClientSecret: clientSecret,
Scopes: []string{"user:read:email"},
RedirectURI: redirectURI,
Token: token,
}
c, err := gundyr.NewHelix(cfg)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
email, err := c.GetUserEmail("your-username")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Println(email)
func handleChannelPoints(event *pubsub.ChannelPointsEvent) {
fmt.Println(event.Redemption.Reward.Title)
}
func main() {
scopes := []string{"channel:read:redemptions"}
// Setup OAuth2 configuration
config, err := auth.NewUserAuth(clientID, clientSecret, redirectURI, &scopes)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// See examples/auth_token.go for an example on creating a new token.
token, err := auth.RetrieveTokenFile(config, tokenFile)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Create a PubSub client and listen to the topics.
client := pubsub.NewClient(userID, token)
client.ListenChannelPoints(handleChannelPoints)
client.Connect()
select {}
}
