Helix modify channel information endpoint should allow access to editors The new helix endpoint to modify channel information ( https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#modify-channel-information ) doesn't work with a user token from a user that has been added as an editor to the channel. This basicially shuts out any clientside tool used by editors where it's impractical for the broadcaster to directly authorize access. Editors should be trusted enough to be able to choose their own tools.
Allowing access to editors would especially make sense if this is intended as a replacement for the v5 endpoint ( https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/channels#update-channel ), which does allow editors to update the stream title and game. It would also work…

Helix Create Poll endpoint doesn't actually allow additional votes for polls. The Create Poll endpoint has optional query parameters to allow additional votes using either bits or channel points.
However, it doesn't actually allow multiple votes. This can be seen in the pubsub response which explictly states that "multi_choice" (property indicating whether additional votes are allowed) is not enabled.
When creating a poll through the web interface, it works just fine as it is created through the GQL and not the API. The GQL message also has an additional property to explicitly allow additional votes, on top of the properties that are used to either allow additional votes by bits and/or…

Manage Roles via the API It shouldn't be required for manage roles such as mod/vip via the chat
It shouldn't be required to manage editor/mod/vip via the roles manager
it would be useful for automation/third party management to be able to manage roles via the API
28 votesCurrently not a top priority, but we are interested in your use cases for this functionality to be considered at a later time. Please include more information in the comments as to how and why this would be useful.

Soundtrack: recently played Please provide an API to obtain the recently played songs on a channel (including the timestamp when played)
This will allow bots to catch up if they restart and/or provide a recently played function without having to store that internally.

Extend Soundtrack Current Track to include when the song started playing on the channel An extension/follow up to https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310213-developers/suggestions/41519041-provide-soundtrack-now-playing-information-for-a-s
Please extend the response to include when the song started playing on the channel.
This will allow developers to reduce spamming the endpoint by only loading/requesting when the song is predicted to end. (Start time + duration)
This could also be solved with EventSub (https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310213-developers/suggestions/44672968-add-a-soundtrack-topic-to-eventsub)

PubSub documentation for "low-trust-users" thingies at is missing The documentation for the new user monitoring thingy in PubSub has not been added yet.
https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/pubsub
So that it can be used to detect these messages and do certain events, just like the automod messages when it catches filtered messages.

Login I have developed a Twitch app and now want to publish it in the Google Play Store.
Google would like to have valid login credentials to check my app that won't expire.
Can you give me a user with a password and token that won't expire?1 vote -

This will encourage subscribing to unlock this feature

Extend Games API to return the Slug/URL for that directory if you lookup a game by name or ID, it doesn't return what the URL for that game's Twitch Directory is.
So there is no way to do linking from a game search page to the directory to find streamers via Twitchs site, rather than doing a chained streams lookup third party side.

Extend videos API to allow editors (and above) to automate downloads In a similar fashion as
The Videos API should be extended to provide the (original) VOD to authenticated users where that user is an Editor or better of the channel.
As in unmuted.
For the purpose of backing up/taking a copy of the Twitch stream and/or taking that content (that the streamer owns) for use on other platforms.
Editors can already do this via the Video Dashboard, so the API should support this also

Allow moderators' OAuths to work with polls and predictions API endpoints At the moment, only the broadcaster is allowed to use the polls and predictions endpoints because the broadcaster id must match the OAuth token. I think that allowing moderators of the specific channel should also be able to use these endpoints. This would be really helpful for Chatterino for example. In order for moderators to create polls or predictions, they have to go to the actual chat on the website to type in /prediction or /poll. If moderators were able to access the endpoint, Chatterino could easily add a command to bring up a window to create a poll or…

Note in /users that a user has changed his name As soon as a user changes his name, the helix/users API can add an entry to the query of the old user name with the new one for a certain time.
This allows bots that work with the username instead of the ID to react faster to the name change4 votes -
Extend Check AutoMod status to allow the developer to specify the level The API https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#check-automod-status
Only lets you check automod for the channel.
But it'll only do it to the value that the channel is set to
Please allow the developer to test a given phrase at a different automod level to that that the channel is set to.
Say the channel is set to level 1, I may want to test a paticular phrase or message about to be sent to an overlay or other property at level 3 or 4 instead for additional security/moderation beyond the level that chat is set to

GetChannelEmotes does not return GIF URL's The new GetChannelEmotes endpoint does not return the correct image url for gif emotes.
For example on Lirik:
for an animated emote it returns the url:
https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v1/emotesv2_53ff77f7c67641528739780d90568494/1.0
When in fact the correct url should of been:
At the moment all gif emotes are given png url's.
4 votesThis is the intended behavior. We will be updating the documentation to make it clearer that static images are returned and we will also be documenting the CDN URL schema to request different aspects of the emote (e.g. static/animated, light/dark/, etc)

Add endpoint to retrieve channel analytics/statistics Add endpoints to retrieve Channel statistics, either returning the data in JSON or just a way to programatically get the csv (the one the Creator Dashboard has).
As a third option, you can also make the GQL API available and provide documentation for it.
This is mostly needed because for many twitch is a business, and part of growing it is the ability to interpret this data and change accordingly.

Don't prefix iCal Timezones with / for better compatibility The TZIDs in https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#get-channel-icalendar are currently prefixed by a / so they are /America/New_York for example. Removing the leading slash should vastly improve compatibility with iCal parsers (since the timezones are essentially IANA timezones then).

Extend Clips API to provide the MP4 url so editors can automate downloads If I have an oAuth that represents a User, where the User is either
- the broadcaster the clip is of
- an editor of the channel that the clip is of
- the user is the owner of the clip
And I make a request for a Clip as documented: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-clips
(but with the bearer naturally)
The JSON Response should include the direct link to the MP4 or an ability to download the Clip.
This is off the back of the removal/deprecation of some undocumented API's that I was using to get the MP4 URL for automated download for creation of clip…

Extend Automod Status Please extend
https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#check-automod-status
To provide as much information as the new PubSub Topic for
automod-queue.<moderator_id>.<channel_id>doeshttps://dev.twitch.tv/docs/pubsub#topics
Currently the API jsut does pass/fail
But PubSub provides content/text/frames/reasoning.This endpoint may be used by third party tools such as tip alerts or extensions to determine if a message passes review or not.
And if it is to be held and presented in a dashboard for moderation staff to review would be useful to include the additional information/reasoning for the block.
