I'm currently writing a discord bot for fun for a server I'm in, and I thought it would be fun to have the bot be able to tell you todays PogChamp emote. I've messed around with Twitch's API and TwitchEmotes API but I still haven't found a way to do it, as it seems the only way to search emotes is by their ID, which changes daily for PogChamp as it is coded as a totally new emote every day. I'm newish to javascript and Node.js, but any suggestions would be apprecieated!

Bot A connects to chat Bot B connects to chat
Bot A sends a PogChamp to it's own Channel Bot B reads the chat and checks if the EmoteID (from the Emotes tag) has changed.
Both bots shut down.
If it has new PogChamp!
Bot B can be a clone of Bot A using the same credentials or read only credentials

So you'd read/parse for the emotes in the IRCv3 tags which is of the format
emotes=emoteID:startIndicy:endIndicy
startIndicy:endIndicy is repeated for each instance of the emote in a message
emoteID:startIndicy:endIndicy is repeated for each emote in the message.
But if you send only one PogChamp you don't need to worry about multiple instances of the tag.

Also note: Twitch is no longer rotating PogChamps.
