Please make the suspicious users feature available to mods The new suspicious users feature should be available to third-party moderation tools.
A lot of moderators use third-party tools and it would be quite important to at least be able to see the messages/warnings. It would be even better if changing the restricted/monitoring state of a user would be possible as well.
This would be akin to the great AutoMod API, which provides mods with a PubSub topic for detailed real-time information and Helix endpoints for handling messages.

restrictions to prevent bot follows The idea is simple: Add the same phone & email verification options to the ability to actually follow a channel, and thus also giving account age requirements to be able to follow a channel. This will allow small streamers being targeted by hate raid Bot attacks to simply prevent the bot attacks easily, instead of being driven off the platform.

Please Provide an API to CRUD /announce Please provide an API to
- Create
- Replace
- Update
- Delete
For the new announcements feature.
Additionally this should work with a broadcasters token or a moderators token
Usecase: much easier to automate and manage announcemtns externally.
We could for example auto update the "message of the day" and/or change the message based on timers or external factors.
We could also use it for the "Death Counter" of the game the streamer is playing on Stream

Extend clips API to return the offset/start point to request the offset of a clip being added to the API
Use cases include
- Deduplication of Clips submitted to a clips submission thing
- Recreate the clip from a copy of the vod.
- Using the offset to easily spot "hype" points of a stream for channel editors making highlights to focus on that point aka "heatmaps of popular stream time points"
- From CSharpFritz: Show clips in the order that they naturally occurred, and not the time that they were created
276 votesWe wanted to provide further context regarding this request as it is the most upvoted suggestion. There are several great use cases for providing the offset of Clips (including those above), but there are also ways in which it can be used negatively. For that reason, our initial decision was to no longer provide this information. With your feedback provided here, we are actively evaluating how to balance enabling good use of this information for creators while negating its potential for abuse. The status will be updated when we can share more information.

Make embeds work on iOS web based apps (like ionic) While it works on Android, it is still impossible to use iframe embeds on web-based mobile iOS apps. The reason being that iOS' WKWebView expects
<schema>://<host>
in the CORS headers returned by Twitch. Twitch uses theparent
parameter to generate those headers. Unfortunately, iOS prevents the use ofhttp://
,https://
andfile://
as schemas and forces us to use a custom schema likeionic://localhost
(or anything else) for accessing local files.The request is to add the ability for twitch embeds to return a CORS header that can match a custom scheme like
ionic://localhost

Revise the `channel.subscription` topics Request
Organize
channel.subscription
topics to allow for alert like notifications to properly be provided. What displays in chat should be able to be mimicked via EventSub topics without having active tracking or additional api calls; Provide missing data where needed; Create new topics to fill in the gaps.
Current Scenarios
Brand New Subscriber: If a user subscribes for the first time in the channel, we get an alert as soon as they sub. This is incidental that it works properly for stream based alerts, as we are actually receiving the payment transaction rather than the in chat event.

Get the authenticated user's emotes (equivalent to existing Kraken endpoint) This Kraken endpoint provides the emotes a user has access to: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/users#get-user-emotes
A similar functionality would be nice for the new API as well. It should contain all emotes a user has access to, for example Global Emotes, Subemotes, Bit Emotes, Emotes unlocked by Channel Points and so on (the Kraken endpoint is unfortunately missing some types of emotes).
The emotes returned would be for the authenticated user, with an appropriate scope required.

Add an Extensions Generalised Review Time metric On the Dev console
On Extension Pages before submit review or in the review submit dialogPlease add a generalised queue metric of how long the queue is
So developers have a better expectation
This metric should also be floated to the dev console extensions home page

Re-add created at, streak and/or expires to Check User Subscription In Twitch v5, the Get User Subscription endpoint contained a created_at and a streak for the current user subscription for a broadcaster.
Helix, lacks this functionality, and thus it is impossible to determine how long someone has been subscribed for, and also impossible to determine if they've renewed their subscription.
These fields are imperative to some applications, especially ones that want to externally reward members monthly for each month they've subscribed. Please return these fields to the endpoint!

Allow channel moderators to control polls/predictions over the API The endpoints announced earlier today ( https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/announcing-apis-and-eventsub-for-polls-and-predictions/31539 ) should be usable by channel moderators so that third-party apps like Chatty can make use of them without the broadcaster needing to authenticate.

Twitch Approved Developer Program - Reinstate Follow/Unfollow API Given the fact that Twitch had to take down the follow/unfollow api's due to bot programs that are out there - my suggestion would be to have an approved set of developers that propose and showcase their applications.
This way Twitch could bring back the follow/unfollow API and any service or developer that was in violation of Twitch's TOS regarding the API could be warned and ultimately have their access and credentials removed.
Twitch Developers could review the logs of which applications were connected with BOT services and immediately shut those down rather then removing the api in its entirety…

Followed categories API It's possible for a third-party app to query a user's followed channels, but not followed categories. This is a very useful tool for creating alternate views to a follow list
Use-case: Raid recommendation tool - it compares channel stats to your own and recommends those that are most similar, and also those you haven't recently raided. To do this, it needs to start with a list of everyone you follow who's live, and then does further research.

Extension bits - adjustable Streamer-Developer Share Why is the share always 80% streamer and 20% developer? Would be way better if the developers could decide their extension percentage.
If I sell an cosmetic item in my game ( on my website) for 5$ I get like 4.8$
If I want to sell the same item on twitch I would need to sell it for 24$ to get 4.8$So as developer I have these options:
- Don't use Bits -> Streamer receives 0$
- Link to our website -> Streamer receives 0$
- Make prices way to expensive -> nobody buys -> Streamer receives 0$
So if you make…

Lookup User by Display Name Add a "/users"-like API method that supports display names. This will let bot commands which have a username parameter support Asian-family character display names to be passed the same as Roman-alphabet channel names. It will also let systems verify that a provided name (channel or display) exists on Twitch, and merge any information for a user's display name with the information for that user's channel name, to prevent "duplicate" sets of data: one for the display name; one for the channel name.

Bot auto follow a channel With the removal of the Follow Create endpoint.
A "non moderation bot" can no longer be automatically added to a channel.
The owner of the bot would have to "login" to the account and manually follow the channel(s) the bot joins.A "non moderation" bot doesn't run moderation commands, so giving it "mod" wouldn't make sense. (Which would bypass the follow requirement)
Please provide a way to "authorise adding a bot to a channel" that will auto follow the bot to the channel. For this purpose
This could be similar to how Discord does bots, where to add a bot…

Vod chat for helix Currently twitch embed does not support vod chat and neither does the helix api.
Twitch only allows vod chat to be seen directly on the website.
This data could be used in a great number of ways by third-parties particularly video editors.
Please add a way to retrieve chat for vods
No? ok. Sadge

Add the Firebase mandatory URLS to the new default CSP for Extensions In order to provide the best experience through extensions, we have users identified in external systems, using Twitch Ids and / or Oauth.
To do so, we use Firebase authentication.Problem is, Firebase natively uses 2 urls that cannot be modified / personalized:
https://securetoken.googleapis.com/v1/
https://www.googleapis.com/identitytoolkit/v3/Those URLs are used to verify / produce / refresh tokens in an API way.
Is it possible to add those URLs to the default CSP or have them fulfill the CSP rule, to be able to keep up with our extensions ?
Thanks !
