How to get twitch streamer status without a twitch application or extension

Is there a possible way to use the requests lib in python to get a twitch streamer's current status without having a twitch client id? I need to do this for a discord bot. I need it to send a message when a specific channel goes live. I'm new to requests.

Something like this:

import requests
def check_status("streamer name"):
    # Access a twitch streamer's page
    return status
