Overview
Kinkajou Bridge connects to Streamer.bot as a WebSocket client. When a printer event occurs, Bridge calls DoAction with a predictable action name (Kinkajou.{event_type}) and argument set.
Your job on the Streamer.bot side is to create matching actions (and optional C# / sub-actions) that use those arguments for alerts, OBS changes, chat responses, and so on.
Responsibilities
| Layer | Role |
|---|---|
| Bridge | Watches printers; sends DoAction into Streamer.bot |
| Streamer.bot actions | React to those calls; own stream-facing logic |
| Overlays | Usually read Bridge’s HTTP/WS API directly (see Overlay developer docs) |
Prerequisites
- Bridge is connected to Streamer.bot (user setup: Connect Streamer.bot).
- At least one printer is configured in Bridge.
- Streamer.bot has actions named for the events you care about (see Actions and arguments).
