  1. In the new badge-related endpoints, badge objects in returned sets contain only their IDs and URLs, which compared to the only existing alternative (undocumented badges.twitch.tv endpoint announced in twitchdev forums[1]) isn't enough for things like custom chat clients that are very popular among many Twitch users.
    Ever since that undocumented endpoint came to existence, we've been using it in our chat client and would at least need "description" and "title" properties that are present in badges.twitch.tv to display information about badges properly and replicate webchat's behavior. I believe both APIs use the same internal data (at least for Global Badges)…

  2. The new endpoint only allows the broadcaster to run commercials: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#start-commercial

    The old endpoint also allowed users with the editor role to run commercials: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/channels#start-channel-commercial

    I believe it is of value to allow access to editors as they used to. Editors should be trusted enough to choose their own tools to support the broadcaster, as has already been the case.

    Plus, if an editor's token can be used the editor's name will appear in the Activity Log on the Dashboard, rather than the broadcaster's name (assuming some sort of webpanel or bot has to be used, that the broadcaster has…

  3. It would be great if an authenticated user could look up their own list of subscriptions. Currently, we allow a broadcaster to look up their subscribers, which is channel -> users, but we do not have a way to look up users -> channel. The workaround today is to get all follows for a given authenticated user and then one-by-one look up if the authed user is subscribed to the followed channel.

  4. Extend the Videos API via a "metadata" endpoint, that provides additional data about the video.

    Including but not limited to

    • Category changes during the video
    • Offsets are relative to the source video that the video is from. So for a highlight it would report the video it was cut from and include where in the origin file the highlight is cut from.

    For Example: https://api.twitch.tv/helix/videos/metadata?id=1234
    Metadata would support up to 100 (or 50) id's at once like Get Videos

    Returns examples

    A video of type archive
    {
    "data": [
    {
    "id": "1234",
    "duration": 18000,
    "chapters": [
    {
    "offset": 0,
    "game…

  5. The AutoMod API lets you test/validate text

    Extend the AutoMod API to test a username/userID so a user passed in from tip/extension platforms can be tested to see if should be flagged/skipped/held for manual moderation

  6. Previously a call to "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/123456/videos" included "_total" (The total number of videos).
    This was removed in Helix.
    As a replacement, you need to iterate through every 100 videos for a channel and count manually. This results in thousands of extra API calls.

  7. It would be important to get the latest clip of a channel, with the link, title, category and description.

  8. I was thinking that some kind of listener in embedded clips that would run a function once the clip had ended.

    For example, in my case, I wanted to run an array of clips one after in an iframe (HTML). Within twitch's API there is no way to do this and I think it would be very beneficial to twitch developers to have an ".onEnded()" function in some way for embeded clips.

  9. It would be very nice to have additional information on the subscription of a specific user, for example date of the subscription, how many consecutive months the user have been subscribed and the total months that the user was subscribed.
    This could be easily added in the "Get Broadcaster Subscriptions" response so that for a specific broadcaster you can have the list of subscribers and for each one you can select the ones with streaks or total months to perform special actions with them

    totallivechanels : 265
    totalviewerscount : 54236

  12. Add support for RFC8252 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8252#section-7.1) which allows for users to specify custom scheme URI's for OAUTH callback urls. This would allow native application developers to not have to piggyback through a server and instead they can configure their applications to handle these schemes for confirming the oauth callback, for example my-app-name:/authorization?code=XXXXX

  13. We should have an API endpoint like /getUserStats or something, that returns all their stats, like followers, view count, subscribers, total streams, etc.

  14. Currently, you can use https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-all-stream-tags to get all tags, and then manually iterate through to find tags with given names, but this can be slow (2-3 seconds to search for 8 tags in my test using twurple). It would be better to have an endpoint similar to https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-games, which allows for a name query parameter. Of course, for tags, this would require also including a language parameter for the IETF language tag.

  15. There is no way to retrieve a list of all the user's subscriptions.
    The idea is to create a query similar to this.
    https://api.twitch.tv/helix/subscriptions/user?&user_id=141981764

  16. When I'm building an extension. I use a custom server to help simulate the Twitch Hosted test environment.

    To that end it would be useful for me to automatically fetch the new CSP fields from the API

    The Endpoint https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-extensions Get Extensions currently provides a wealth of information about an Extension, including what things are available and enabled and which slots the extension can exist within.

    With the Dashboard deployment to allow entry of the new CSP fields. This endpoint should be updated to include the CSP data.

    Then I can auto collect the changes into my local test rig…

  17. Further documentation of the topics would be greatly appreciated!
    The examples in this documentation don't cover enough conditions, some topics aren't even included in the examples at all!
    I'm sure it wouldn't take more than an afternoon for a small knowledgeable team to write up the data structures.

    Thanks!

  18. The addition of the Emote Library that is coming soon is a fantastic addition, this is great for solving the issue of disparity between partners and affiliates on emote variety, without undermining the parner program and is a fantastic compromise.

    I would like to suggest the addition to the Twitch API to allow for enabling and disabling of active emotes from the Emote library via a privlaged API call from a token with sufficient privlages through oAUTH.

    An example of the proposed usecase would be 4 API calls:
    -Activate Emote [Params: Emote ID, (Optional: Emote Slot)]
    -Deactivate Emote by ID…

  19. Hi
    I hope you are all doing good
    I need some help. I am looking for a developer who can easily integrate twitch with my website https://cloptoncapital.com/. I tried a lot by myself but nothing happened. So if you have any information about it then please do let me know. Thank You

  20. Would be useful to create/update/remove a running goal.

    To update/change the target whilst one is running if we get a surprise spike in subs
    Or to easily be able to auto start a new goal if the first goal is completed.
