  1. The purple popups that occur when watching an embeded stream really only serve to worsen the experience of using an Embed. Attempts to engage with third party content are ruined but these purple screens cutting off the action every 15 minutes and the "Best experience" that twitch claims you can get from using the website directly is an experience devoid of the actual functionality provided by some third party applications that are at time the whole reason for seeing the stream in the first place.

  2. The clip response already include both id and name -fields for some data -- broadcaster_id/broadcaster_name and creator_id/creator_name.

    It would be helpful if the same was true for game_id and video_id, so we wouldn't have to resolve these by making additional requests.

    game_name: the title of the game being played.
    video_name: the title of the video (stream) that the clip came from.

  3. This is an unpopular idea, because it would significantly change the developer experience and make cross app tracking of users 'more difficult, but not impossible'.. and also, it would increase security and improve user privacy.

    Return only Opaque User Ids. Do not have the UserID returned by the API to be the same one that other user data is indexed by. If you want to take it a step further, make the UserIDs returned to an app, 'app scoped'. What that would mean is if App A, asked for the UserId of user 'Xemdo', the API could return 72078039. If…

  4. Currently, it is easy to tell if a user that sent a message in a streamer’s channel is a subscriber, VIP, or moderator of that channel. However, there is no way to tell if that user is a follower of the channel.

    With the rise of hate raids and malicious messages, I want to ensure that if a streamer is using a chat box overlay, that they have the option to only let messages from followers appear. Malicious users usually don’t follow the channel, and so this will prevent their messages from appearing on stream.

    I do understand that this…

  5. The existing Channel Emotes API response includes a 'bitstier' value of 'emote_type' for Cheer-earned emotes, but does not include any data about the actual number of bits required to earn the emote. Either the 'tier' attribute or a new integer-value (recommended) containing the number of bits for each emote would be very helpful. Adding the same attribute to the Emote Sets API response would also be useful and uniform.

  6. Right now, chat bots that post messages in chat from things such as commands. will post the reply in chat, which can become quite spammy. The only solution to this right now is to use whispers, but there is a hard limit on that and doesn't work half of the time anyways. I propose that we should be able to have bots send replies that are hidden to everyone but the person that ran the command.

  8. The collections API's were not migrated from v5 to Helix

  9. add campaignid to the drops result on the get drops Entitlements API-call - so we don't need the EventSub call anymore (which only contains the campaignid for an entitlement)
    with that, we have a good fallback-solution (if EventSub isn't fired) and we can re-use rewards from the manager.

    The next step, to allow using the same rewarduniqueid multiple times in the campaign would be to add a "task-identifier" to eventsub and also to this api get-call.

  10. 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…

  11. Off the back of

    https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310213-developers/suggestions/37563241-expose-vips-in-the-api

    Being an endpoint now.

    There is no endpoint for "how many VIP slots does the channel have"

    as per the help doc

    https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/Managing-Roles-for-your-Channel?language=en_US

    it scales based on the unique chatters/build a community achievement.

    So extend the Get VIPs endpoint to report the possible maximum VIPS for the channel I'm getting VIPs of.

  12. I have a iOS mobile app that embeds Twitch clips retrieved from the api. When a user taps the big play button in the center of the video, the video overlay (thumbnail, title, controls) stays hovering for close to 6 seconds. Tapping the video again to hide to overlay does not work.

    However, when a user taps the small play button on the bottom left corner and then taps on the video, the overlay hides instantly.

    Having a significant portion of the video content covered for the first 6 seconds of the clip is a bit annoying, and most users…

  15. Currently, an extension I've made can help show off a channel, including showing off their last played game. As this is one of the main reasons a person may be interested in following that streamer (based on the information that can be gathered by the API), the main way to improve upon that is to show more of these games.
    It seems strange that there is a list of the user's last several played games freely available on their channel, but not to be retrieved via an API.

  17. Please provide an API to manage

    • suggested streamers
    • auto host list
    • recenty streamed categories

    Basically

    https://dashboard.twitch.tv/settings/channel/featured-content as API endpoints

  18. I would like to have an API to provide Drops information.

    I would expect this to be secured behind the broadcasters token perhaps with a suitable scope.

    Then this would allow me to see the current active scoring campaign(s) on a given channel.

    This would allow me to provide easier bot commands with direct links to the relevant Twitch campaign page in an automated fashion. Which makes it easier for viewers to get to this data in an on demand fashion if they miss the popup for whatever reason. or the user just needs help from channel mods to understand…

  19. Currently the /goal command opens a dialog screen allowing the broadcaster to set a channel goal.

    Params would be:
    type - MUST be Followers, or Subscribers (if the channel is able to have subs)
    goal: number of followers/subs for goal
    description - optional string
    color - one of Twitchs preset color options

    Response would be either an error, or success along with the URL for the browser source.

  20. Emotes are a commonly used feature of Channel Point Redemptions requiring messages. Unlike the EventSub Subscription Message events which provide emote ID and placement data, Channel Point Redemption events do not. I propose the following change to the Point Redemption notification payload:

    channel.channel_points_custom_reward_redemption.add and channel.channel_points_custom_reward_redemption.update:

    {
        "subscription": {
            ...
        },
        "event": {
            ...
            "user_input": {
                "text": "Channel Point Message! finite6ThrowBall",
                "emotes": [
                    {
                        "begin": 24,
                        "end": 40,
                        "id": "emotesv2_4133039724974aa59589549eae677d03"
                    }
                ]
            },
            ...
        }
    }
    

    This allows for a client to properly construct the channel point redemption input, with emote images, similar to the channel.subscription.message event.
