  1. To make it easier to streamers to add a bot to their channel.

    Some bots may be asking for the channel:manage:moderators scope.
    But this means the bot can add/remove any moderator.

    It would seem practical to create and support a scope or proceedure that restricts the scope to a single user.

    So channel:manage:moderators:15185913 when using this with asking user 26610234 would give me the ability to mod/unmod only that one userID

  2. This page says "The Twitch Authorization SDK is a library that provides access to Twitch Authentication through an API targeted at applications used by Twitch broadcasters." But it has no instruction on how or where to DOWNLOAD THE SDK!!!!!!

  3. Currently in the Get Clips API (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#get-clips) there isn't a way to set one of the request query parameters to include the creator_id, but you can see this in the response body. This would be useful for filtering clips from just 1 user. The only way to filter right now is by requesting every clip from a channel and filtering the clips yourself. I don't like doing this, because it takes a long time, and is prone to missing clips. It also creates a ton of useless API calls that could be avoided by allowing this filtering during…

  4. In the web UI, moderators are able to complete/reject redemptions. However, the PATCH https://api.twitch.tv/helix/channel_points/custom_rewards/redemptions API endpoint requires the reward to be created with the same client ID that is used to update the redemption, or it returns a 403.

    This restriction is needless when considering the aforementioned leniency on the web UI.

  5. Right now if we want to disable/enable clip creation we kinda have to play hide and seek in the dashboard.
    It's good to have that possibility, but it doesn't answer emergency cases.

    It happens to streamers that they leak more or less critical personnal info (address, credit card, real name...). In such case, most of the viewers will create a clip to watch it back and by the time we find the option on the dashboard it's way too lat to disable clips creation.

    Also it wouldn't totally solve it, having an API would help mitigate such kind of leak…

  6. Currently the Prediction endpoints (and EventSub data) only contains the top predictors for outcomes in a prediction. I propose a new endpoint, located at something like: helix/predictions/predictors that takes as input a broadcaster_id and outcome_id, and returns a paginated list of all users who have contributed to a given prediction outcome, along with the details of their prediction (essentially the "top predictors" array, but containing all predictors).

    This could make predictions even more interactive- a streamer could, for example, draw two word clouds showing all predictors for each option "battling" each other.

  7. Rarely, a race condition in which a USERNOTICE with a msg-id of subgift will come in before the submysterygift it shares a msg-param-origin-id with. This can cause unexpected behavior in multiple situations. Rather than try to force the submysterygift to always be sent first, I suggest adding a tag that marks a subgift as part of a random or bulk gifting in some manner. Even a boolean value would be enough for software to know to wait for the submysterygift to come in before processing the subgift. Otherwise, a forced delay is required on all subgifts, even if they're actually…

  8. One of the annoyances of the current authorization system is that whenever the broadcaster change their password, they need to reauthorize all apps as well, so developers need to have a way of warning the user to reauthorize it, or they will lose access to its features.

    I understand this is a security feature, but it would be good if that could be handled separately, because a lot of times people just want to change password, and not revoke auth for third party apps

  10. I would like to see a better handling of teams inside of the api.
    The following functions i would like to see.

    • adding and removing teammembers
    • query who is currently online of the team
    • subscribe (eventsub) to get notifications when a team member goes online or offline

    I think query and subscribe is needed cause sometimes you just need the current state for example to implement a reply in an 3rd party tool who can be raided and raise this way the interaction between team members. Subscription based is good if you for example want to let discord post informations…

  11. Twitch's UI allows you to add terms that have only a single character to them. This is good because it allows us to block some characters that are usually used on ascii copy pastes (like "⣿", for example).

    Unfortunately, the API imposes a limit of a minimum of 2 characters per blocked term, as seen on the docs:

    "The word or phrase to block from being used in the broadcaster’s chat room. The term must contain a minimum of 2 characters and may contain up to a maximum of 500 characters."

    This creates a weird behaviour where users can add…

  13. In order to give the end user more control, applications may be developed to have dynamic scopes, which currently is on the third-party developer's side to manage, such as providing a list of checkboxes to determine which permissions to grant.
    I suggest adding a parameter to <id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize> to turn the listed permissions into checkboxes, and only the checked permissions returned in the scope list that accompanies the resulting token. This will make the user's interaction with the permissions feel more seamless, as well as prevent "backouts" when the user is presented with a list of access permissions they can't "un-choose".

  14. According to the recently updated documentation (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#modify-channel-information ):

    To remove all tags from the channel, set tags to an empty array.

    However that does not work at all, as the API returns:

    {"error":"Bad Request","status":400,"message":"The request must update at least one channel property field."}

    When receiving the following payload:

    {"tags": []}

    If you send the following the title gets updated and the tags remain untouched:

    {"title": "Test ing the API", "tags": []}

  15. Similar to the Bits Leaderboard, please add a gifted subs leaderboard API, so we can see everyone who has gifted a sub in the channel.
    So People can show in their overlay who is the top sub gifter (or the top sub gifters). This will make people see that when gifting subs they will show up in the stream and that streamers appreciate them.
    Consequently there will be more people subscribe logically to be appreciated and that would make them and others gift more subs to the streamers.

    (I saw there was a request / an idea for that too…

  17. Please add the ability to add/remove channel editors via the API. This was requested previously and marked completed but as far as I can tell it's not completed.

  18. Why is there not currently an api that allows for regular developers to access the current upcoming/active drops?

    There are a couple of usecases for this (off the top of my head), for example;
    - displaying all active drops for specific games on a website like a fandom.
    - announcing upcoming drops via a discord bot.

    Currently some games are creating drop campaigns with no official notices or schedules and with a short turn around. Drops go live within 2-3 hours of creation and last 2-3hours, if you're not sitting refreshing the drops page every hour you're likely to miss…

  19. Many channels I watch regularly communicate at least in two languages, and therefore send out chatbot messages in multiple languages as a long message.

    For example, "Follow my Instagram at ig.com/username // Folgt meinem Instagram at ig.com/username".

    It would be great if there was the option for chat messages sent via API to provide a default message with translations. Users would see bot messages in their native language or the broadcaster's selected language if no matching translation was provided. This could be extended for other functions, such as shoutouts.

  20. The clip response already include both id and name -fields for some data -- broadcaster_id/broadcaster_name and creator_id/creator_name.

    It would be helpful if the same was true for game_id and video_id, so we wouldn't have to resolve these by making additional requests.

    game_name: the title of the game being played.
    video_name: the title of the video (stream) that the clip came from.
