  1. Now that Twitch is utilizing IGDB instead of Giantbomb.

    Please add the IGDB Game ID to the Helix Fetch Game endpoint.

    https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-games
    https://api-docs.igdb.com/#game

    Then we can easily lookup a game on Twitch with the game on IGDB without getting lost in search/selecting the wrong one with a similar name

  3. 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/ClientID

  4. 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!)

  6. 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.

  8. With the actual Helix API, there are two ways to retrieve the authenticated user's followed streams:

  9. 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…

    Completed  ·  Travis Brown responded

    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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. Helix is currently missing the Kraken endpoint /kraken/channels/<channel ID>/commercial

    Running a commercial through the API is e.g. very useful for broadcasters who want to assign that responsibility to someone else.

  14. 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.

  15. On helix we can only get people that are subscribed to a broadcaster, we can't get the broadcasters a user is subscribed to.

    So basically we've got V5 channels/<channel ID>/subscriptions.
    We are missing V5 <user ID>/subscriptions/<channel ID>.

  16. 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…

  17. https://dashboard.twitch.tv/u/USERNAME/settings/moderation/blocked-terms

    There is no API for automation of adding/removing/listing a given channels blocked-terms

    When adding/removing a term modlogs display in chat as

    barrycarlyon used: /addblockedterm THISISATEST.
    barrycarlyon used: /deleteblockedterm THISISATEST.

    But these are not valid chat commands either.

    Please provide an API to CRUD channel blocked terms

  19. It is impossible to get the emotes for a channel from the API via Channel ID

    The API uses "emotesetID" and there is no API endpoint that provides the emotesetID for a given channel

    Please provide a way to get the emotes for a channel via ChannelID/ChannelLogin
