Twitch Chat / IRC injection into Roll20 Chat

Either by API or 3rd party, does anyone know of a method or tool to inject Twitch Chat into the Roll20 chat? Specific Scenario:  I stream my various groups' roll20 games via Twitch/OBS.  Having an extremely small viewerbase, I've been copy/pasting viewer comments into the Roll20 game for other players to see and respond to (Less obtrusive than interrupting dialogue vocally).  I'm looking for a way to automate the process so as not to require copy/pasting between windows, manually. More idle curiosity of 'can it be done' than anything, really. Thanks all.

Definitely not by API, that can only interact with things internal to the game itself, and only specific things at that. I'm not sure about 3rd party, but I'd imagine there's a program out there that can mimic typing.

There exist browser automation libraries ( Nightmare is one example), which when combined with something to read the Twitch chat, would let you write a program that automatically enters the Twitch comments in the game's chat log. If the program is operating with GM permissions in Roll20, you could even have it use the /as command to credit the Twitch user. I doubt there is anything that already exists to solve this problem, though, so you would need to write it yourself, or get someone else to.

You could also use an API script like ColorNote or similar to format them completely differently.
Something to mess with for a pet project if nothing else.  Thanks guys.
