On Events

The Kick API delivers events to bots by using Webhooks. Webhooks work fine for cloud-based bots, since those bots already have (and pay for) internet-facing server infrastructure to host the webhooks. But streamer.bot itself is entirely self-hosted on the streamer’s PC, and requires additional public server infrastructure in order to integrate with webhooks.
