Fix Get Drops Entitlements pagination type The Get Drops Entitlements GET endpoint currently responds with a pagination, however, unlike the rest of the documentation, it is typed as a raw string.
This request is to either,
- update the documentation to acknowledge that it is different from the rest of the API
- Update the endpoint to match the rest of the API and use Pagination: {cursor:""}
- In the case this is a documentation error (Having only noticed when checking the patterns, Not in usage) fix the documentation.1 vote -
Game Title for GET helix/search/channels endpoint The "GET helix/search/channels" endpoint only gives the game_id and not the game title, this would mean extra API calls that could be avoided if you included the game name in the response.
3 votesThank you for this request! We added the game_name field recently.

Add a "Read" API endpoint for Schedules (upcoming scheduled streams for a channel) I added this to a comment on the existing idea request for a full CRUD set of API endpoints for the "Schedule" feature, but given that I believe a whole lot of use could be made of a "Read" endpoint for upcoming scheduled streams for a given channel, I thought it worthwhile to add this as a separate (and hopefully, much easier and quicker to implement) idea request.
Please give this thorough consideration Twitch dev and product teams!
6 votesReading and managing schedules is now available in the API. https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/announcing-api-endpoints-for-twitch-channel-stream-schedules/32137/

Create Sandbox/Testing Environment for API Twitch currently completely lacks any sort of API testing feature. This causes extreme difficulty for debugging code made with the Twitch API.
This is unacceptable when the vast, vast majority of websites/software that have a public API have some sort of testing feature that sends tests through the same API endpoints as production.
For example, a piece of software I was working on recently worked great, but it turned out that events for subscriptions was broken. We have absolutely no way to test subscription events through the Twitch Pub/Sub API besides actually buying subs. I didn't actually fix it until…

Get Custom Rewards doesn't say which Rewards were created by the calling ClientID There should be a field to indicate the owner "clientID" or a "mine: true/false" to represent if the rewards returned by "Get Custom Rewards" belong to the calling clientID or not.
OR
add an optional query string parameter
| name | required | type | description
| -------------------------------------------------------
| mine | no | boolean | if true only return rewards created by this developer/ClientID3 votesonly_manageable_rewards field was added to GET Custom Rewards endpoint. When set to true, only returns custom rewards that the calling client_id can manage. Defaults false.

Add Helix endpoint to get Channel Teams The "GET /kraken/channels/<channel ID>/teams" endpoint is currently missing in the Helix API.
I propose to either
a) add the teams to the "GET /helix/channels" output, or to
b) add new team endpoints to Helix altogether. (Teams need some love!)5 votesEarlier this year, we added Get Channel Teams and Get Teams to Helix.

Allow a Reward to be created as disabled As a developer, i want to be able to create a reward in the
disabledstate.This is currently not possible upon creation, as the
is_enabledparameter is ignored. The documentation currently reflects this correctly.Thus, this currently requires the reward to be created and then a
PATCHrequest to be made right afterwards, updating the just-created reward.Allowing this would, for example, allow "secret" rewards to be created before being "released to the public" or allowing the Broadcaster to utilize the dashboard management page to choose between a set of pre-created rewards.
4 votesThe “Create Custom Reward” endpoint now allows setting the “is_enabled” field. https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#create-custom-rewards

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…
