Live Twitch/Youtube chat in a patch

I'd like to get the chat from a live stream into a patch but haven't a clue how to do so. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

jit.desktop is probably the easiest, but slowest. without knowing your OS it's hard to say more, but likely OBS to grab the app window, Syphon/Spout and maybe NDI to send to Max.

actually, maybe the jweb object is all you need?

I'm using Mac, Catalina. I don't want the video of the chat but the actual contents of the chat. Not sure if this is even possible.
