Picarto chat integration project Thread

For those who don't know Picarto is essentially Twitch for artists, However unlike Twitch there is no IRC support for chat. This forces streamers such as my girlfriend to go totheir own channel page to read thier own chat. Although there is a popout function I would rather it be something even more lightweight such as the IRC solutions that exist for Twitch. I decided to take this on as my own personal project for fun. I have not really programmed anything before but I do have good knowledge of the logic of programming as well as above average tech and hardware knowledge. But probably nothing compared to an actual IT professional.

This is the theory and thought processes I've gone through to get to this point as a beginner coder:

I figured that since I can go to her stream and access everything including the chat there must be a way to access just the chat functions alone without needing to load anything else or even use a browser. So I started looking through the page source on Firefox to see if I could find some function call or some script that looked like it said what route or what server it's sending and recieving chat data to and from. I figured that if I could find that then it should be a relatively simple matter of either creating a minimalist gui element or set of elements that sends and receives data through the same route or using mIRC. I haven't found such a path yet but I'm still looking.

My questions to you are

1. Is this the right thought process so far and if not what am I missing?
2. As far as data routes go is there anything sepcific I should be looking for?
3. Do you need or want more information in order to help me better?

So far I have noticed lots of Oath Key calls in the various scripts along with other security looking things like google UID checks and Alexa (or something) JavaScript certification things. I assume that I'd need to let all of that run as well or else it'd assume the connection was suspicious and block it.

The end goal is to create a lightweight, user friendly chat tool for Picarto streamers. Something as non techy as possible as these are artists not gamers and modders. Ideally there should be nothing about this tool that isn't accessible via toolbars or other clickable menus. Modding or unmoddding people, bans, kicks, etc. At no point should a user be forced to have to type a "/" or "!" command. Although the functionality should remain if they want it. IRC may be crossed off the list for that reason alone. A sub goal would be the ability to create bots for moderation, raffles, and the like for chat similar to twitch bots. Something that cannot be done without being able to hook a program into the chat in some way. But it is not the main priority.

My guess is that this project is actually very simple for a real programmer to pull off and would likely take them less than a week if not a day to do. For me I'm guessing that this could take as long as a month or more when I factor in time needed to learn syntax and internet routing stuff and whatnot.

Thank you for your time.

Hello, i just found this post.
Maybe we can work together, i have a little bit of c# knowledge and i have an idea for what to do with the plugin
