Add created timestamp to /helix/users A user's created timestamp is not yet available through Helix. The updated timestamp is personally less useful but would be nice for consideration.
59 votesAs announced on Friday during our Developer Day, this endpoint has been updated to return created_at. You can see more info in our docs: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-users

We launched the channel.raid EventSub subscription type in early March.
We are not adding a channel.host subscription type at this time, though we will continue to consider this request.

Bring "Get Followed Streams" endpoint to Helix With the actual Helix API, there are two ways to retrieve the authenticated user's followed streams:
First, get user follows (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-users-follows) and then get all active streams details, by specifying each user_id individually. If the user is following 300 users, this would require at least 6 requests (eventually one more to get the autenticated user's id). This method is quite inefficient compared to the v5 endpoint.
The second way is to use the "Stream Changed" webhook (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/webhooks-reference#topic-stream-changed). Again, I should first retrieve all user follows (3 requests for 300 follows), and then subscribe to 300 webhooks…

Add game title to Get Streams for convenience Adding the commonly-used game title field to the Get Streams endpoint payload (similar to the addition of user name) will allow developers to make less calls for the data needed. In other words, Get Games would not need to be called for every game id to get one more field.

Add v5 "Get Followed Streams" endpoint to Helix The Helix API currently has no way of retrieving a particular users online channels they are following. This is done by the "Get Followed Streams" API in v5 (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/streams#get-followed-streams)
To get the same behavior in the current Helix endpoints would require TENS of requests each time you wanted to check for the presence of a channel coming online/going offline, instead of the nice single endpoint v5 offers.
I've requested this endpoint for a few years now and was told v5 and Helix will have parity before v5 is officially shutdown, so I hope that's still the case.

Add user_login to /helix/streams Some users have display names (the "user_name" property) that do not work for IRC or even in URLs. This requires an additional call to /helix/users with the ID to get the login which I find more crucial than the display name that is already included.
Here are two examples:
The user "riotgames" (ID 36029255) has a display name with a space. "twitch.tv/Riot Games" does not redirect to "twitch.tv/riotgames".
The user "hanryang1125" (ID 103825127) has a display name with Korean characters. "twitch.tv/풍월량" does not redirect to "twitch.tv/hanryang1125".
Neither of these display name would work for IRC, which goes for most display…
30 votesAs Alca mentioned, this has been completed and user name has been added to several API endpoint payloads. See the changelog for 2021-01-28. https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/change-log

Get Channel Editors Getting the list of a channel's editors for e.g. importing, and verifying editor status is something that is missing from Helix.
Kraken had this in /kraken/channels/<channel ID>/editors and it was very useful.
The ability to verify your Twitch editor status is necessary to properly interact with Twitch's editor features.
