I have some problem to create an extension, I need to know if a twitch channel is online.

A friend helped me, since in the markup language I'm null, with this php.

But I do not know if it can be applied to the web.

<?php
$streamChannel = "mastersonothing";  
$url = "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?channel=mastersonothing"
$clientid = "12345678901234"

$json_array = json_decode(curl($url), true);  

$newurl = $url . "&client_id=" . $clientid;

if(isset($json_array['streams'][0]['channel'])) {  
echo "<div id='streamonline'>Stream is Online</div>";  
} else {  
echo "<div id='streamoffline'>Stream is Offline</div>";  
}  

?>

The problem is that I do not know if it can be used equally in js, and in turn, it would work correctly, could someone help me to do this simple check?

Problems when calling a function in C What does the error "Uncaught TypeError: Can not set / read property 'XXX' of undefined / null mean and how to fix it?

In the one of documentation Twitch, it says how to do it, I leave you the code to make the call with Jquery .

Two parameters are required: the client-id and the chanlel-name which is the same as the username.

var endpoint = "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/";
var channelname= "c9sneaky";

$.ajax({
 type: 'GET',
 url: endpoint + channelname,
 headers: {
   'Client-ID': clientid
 },
 success: function(data) {
   console.log(data);
 }
});

Depending on whether it is live or not, it returns a type of JSON or another.

In case is live :

        "channel": "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/shiphtur"
    }
}
