BetterTTV CDN

The BetterTTV CDN can be used for hotlinking images or retrieving the image files of the specified emote.
The URL format is the following: https://cdn.betterttv.net/emote/:emoteId/:size

Placeholders should be replaced with:

  • :emoteId - The ID or "hash" of the emote, such as 56e9f494fff3cc5c35e5287e
  • :size - One of the following:
    • Small - 28x28: 1x
    • Medium - 56x56: 2x
    • Large - 112x112: 3x

Image types

The available image types are .png (static) or .gif (animated).
Image types can be detected using the Content-Type HTTP header, which is either image/png or image/gif.
If you've used the API to retrieve details about an emote, then the image type is generally available in the API response as imageType.
