API

Mixer has a well-documented public API. API points of interest include https://mixer.com/api/v1/channels?limit=100 (online channels) and https://mixer.com/api/v1/recordings?limit=100 (channels with saved broadcasts- note broadcasts are saved for a limited time for most channels anyway but this could be a good discovery mechanism).
