Rem : As your Node-RED should be secured with http basic auth the URI are **https://admin:password@xxxxxxxxx.eu.ngrok.io** or **https://admin:password@your.domain.name** with "admin" and "password" corresponding to you Node-RED auth.

## Node-RED Setup
- [Import](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/editor/workspace/import-export) the [flow](https://github.com/n3odym3/Node-RED_Twitch_EventSub/blob/main/EventSub-Twitch-Flow.json)
- Edit the API Settings node with your
   - Twitch client ID
   - Twitch client secret
   - Sub secret : a password (defined by the user) to validate the Twitch event signature 
   - Twitch channel 
   - Sub URI : your Node-RED server name or ngrok tunnel URL **WITHOUT**  "HTTPS://" (Ex : your.domain.name or xxxxxxxxxxx.ngrok.io and admin:password@your.domain.name or admin:password@xxxxxxxxxxx.ngrok.io for a properly secured server)
   - [Scopes](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/authentication#scopes) (space-separated)

- The "Inject" node and "Fake event" function can be removes as they are only used for Testing/Debug purposes

- Retrieve and use the events informations by connectig your node/function to the annotated functions
