2. Allow a Reward to be created as disabled

   As a developer, i want to be able to create a reward in the disabled state.

   This is currently not possible upon creation, as the is_enabled parameter is ignored. The documentation currently reflects this correctly.

   Thus, this currently requires the reward to be created and then a PATCH request 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. 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 events. Again, this is a really inefficient and painful method to simply get an user's followed active streams at a given time point.

   The old endpoint was really straightforward and useful for many developers. I'm sure bringing it back would be a great thing.

5. Fulfill or Reject Channel Points Redemptions Programmatically

   Channel points have the ability to reward loyal viewers with real-time influence on the stream. Sometimes such requests may be filtered, which should trigger a rejection (therefore refund).

   Right now the only way to do this programmatically would be to use unsupported GQL APIs and risk the wrath of Twitch, or wrap the rewards queue in some way. This is the only blocker (technically speaking) for the workflow, as PubSub does expose enough information to respond to the redemptions automatically.

   I've had a proof of concept on my stream which gets redemptions via PubSub, filters the submission for offensive content via an API, and changes some text elements on my stream layout automatically. It's been well-received by my (tiny) viewership but it would never really scale without these APIs.

   Perhaps worth noting that there's a practical workaround that takes the bulk of the interaction out of Twitch: channel points rewards could be configured which are not queued, and are processed (via PubSub) automatically by a bot to turn into bot points - and then the bot points spent as prices on bot commands.

   As announced at last week’s Developer Day, we now have set of Channel Points endpoints and EventSub subscription types. This initial release may address much of the feedback captured here, if you still have features you would like so see, please feel free to file more UserVoice ideas under the “API” category.

7. Provide API to return subscriber points

   As noted here

   https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/lifetime-subscriber-guide-for-partners?language=en_US

   Lifetime Subscribers are a unique benefit for Twitch Partners. Lifetime subscriptions do not generate revenue or additional subscription points.

   No where in the subscribers API is a given sub tagged as lifetime.

   So whilst we can math the subscriber points from helix, we can't discount these lifetime subs from our count.

   Extend the subscribers API to flag as lifetime, (or provide a seperate endpoint)
   And provide a API to fetch the Sub Points without having to iterate all pages.

   “points” has been added to the “Get Broadcaster Subscriptions” endpoint and documentation has been updated.

8. 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.

10. 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.

11. OAuth Connection Revocation Event/WebHook

    I would like to be able to react to a user disconnecting my application from their account without having to constantly poll with the user's token to ensure that it is still valid. If I were to constantly poll for all users that have used FrankerFaceZ's website, I would be making thousands of requests per minute. My servers don't need the unnecessary load. Your servers don't. There is a better way.

    For this I request implementation of a revocation webhook, similar to those used by GitHub (ref1), Facebook (ref2), Slack (ref3), Discord (ref4), etc.

    To clarify, I don't want a webhook as they have been used previously with Twitch's API. I want to be able to use the admin panel to associate a URL with my OAuth app that is hit when a user disconnects from my app. This represents an event that I would want to know about in perpetuity for the lifetime of my application and having to constantly re-subscribe would just waste everyone's time. If you do choose to implement this as other webhooks have been implemented, please do NOT require us to subscribe to each individual user. The idea is that we want to know about any authorized users disconnecting.

    For example, if I entered the URL " https://my-site.example/webhooks/disconnect " then I would expect Twitch to POST to that URL when a user disconnects with a JSON payload including, at a minimum, the Twitch user ID so that we can identify the user and perform any relevant logic to deactivate their account in our system.

    This is similar to the existing topic "Extension webhooks for streamer actions", but I believe that OAuth connections and adding an extension to a channel are sufficiently different topics to warrant posting this again. I also want to make it clear that this should 1: Not be a standard webhook that requires us to constantly resubscribe for every user using our app and 2: This should not be overly tied to extensions and should be for OAuth connections.

    Thank you for your consideration.

    Add an endpoint to edit the stream title and currently played game, the equivalent in v5 was:

    PUT /helix/streams [required scope: user:edit:broadcast]
    Request fields: user_id to identify the user whose stream is to be edited, game_id to identify the game played and title to set the stream title/status.

    The "Get Chatters" endpoint is now in general availability (as opposed to open beta). "user_id" and "user_name" have been added to the response. Documentation can be found here: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-chatters

20. 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.
