Verified Developer Badge Partners get a verified badge, it would be nice for published developers to get a badge too, maybe after a certain usage requirement of their extension, like how partners have to hit certain limits to become partner, maybe enough usages or page views of the extension will get a dev a badge.

Troubleshooting step breaks Developer Rig The troubleshooting step for "I’m sure my My Rig configuration is correct, but my extension doesn’t work." doesn't work. All it did was make it so that the developer rig can't find my project anymore. It also can't create new projects.

Am I on the home page It is useful to know if a streamer is on the home page.
Both from a
- internal (to the channel) statistical standpoint
- as a moderation standpoint (we are on the home page we should up the follow limit to avoid trolls or lower the follow limit to let people chat).
Please provide a way to
- determine if a given channel is on the homepage (by region)
- which slot it is in on that region
And if possible
provide this information has a webhook so we don't have to constantly poll for this information
Additionally we may use it as a…

Improve "Get Streams" viewers count accuracy Many times, "viewer_count" response field doesn't change during several minutes (due to caching?). However, when you're watching a stream you can see how this data is refreshed each 20-25 seconds.
Benefit: Increase the precision of apps that use this field

App analytics similar to extensions analytics It would be nice to have analytics for "normal" OAuth apps similar to what extensions already have.
The analytics could include authed users overall, new authed users in the past x days, xxx logins / oauth authorize per day and revokes per day. Having theses stats would make it much easier for developers to see how many users are using their apps, especially if they are client token ones without a server backend.
As bonus these analytics could also include a listing of how many request per Twitch API endpoint were done. Google for example has this in their API…3 votes -
Standard way of accessing full data after webhook After a webhook fires, I'm given context to the UserID and Username. In the instance of "stream.online", I would like more information. In the old webhooks, I was given the full stream data object. Will there be a standard way of accessing the full data object of whatever is "notifying" the webhook? Or is it on me to use the existing Helix API to then get that information(user info, game info, broadcast info)?
One thought would be to simply give the appropriate URL to POST to for more information, similar to how some APIs give a paginated cursor URL to…

Get Active Extension Version info In order to send a chat message via https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/extensions/reference/#send-extension-chat-message you need to know the current active version of your extension. There's no way to retrieve information about your extensions' versions.
There's one way which is kind of roundabout, by first using
/extensions/${CLIENT_ID}/live_activated_channelsto get a list of users, then using/helix/users/extensions/liston one to find the extension again and get its version there.This could be much quicker to find if
live_activated_channelshad aversionfield with the live extension version (it only ever returns a list of channels using the live version).There could also be a

Fix the example GitHub repo to better correlate to the documentation on this page Provide a link to the referenced branch associated with each step.
There are no branches for steps 3 and 4. The existing branches don't correlate to the code presented for each step on this page.
And there's messy commented out code in all of the files on GitHub.Also, 4 steps are explained, and then the last sentence in this doc mentions the Step 1 branch

embeds should not require a webserver parent only works for webservers. not everyone wants or needs to run a webserver to embed videos on a localhost page using file:/// this change benefits no users at all. it may help with 3rd party sites, but file:/// is NEVER a 3rd party but is now blocked from being used due to the parent requirement. this is affecting moderation bots and other tools people use on their local computer that isn't served from a webserver.

Split the Helix API reference into sub-categories As the Helix API reference page (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference) is continuing to grow it it is starting to become unwieldly with the number of entries.
It would be beneficial to the docs to create sections for different areas of the API. Appropriate names for the sections are already listed in the API, as at the top of the reference page is a table that has a 'Resource' column which would be perfect for this usage, and that table can remain at the root reference page so that devs can see at a glance what endpoints are in what section, then…

Initiate Redemption from the API Add the ability to trigger a reward redemption from the API - similar/same to what happens when clicking the reward in the chat dialog.
For example an extension has added a custom reward XYZ and to trigger a certain action in or for the extension this reward needs to be used.
So instead of the extension telling the viewer "please redeem reward XYZ to do this or that" and then waiting for the redemption, immediately trigger the redemtion via the API - saving the viewer the need to browse and look for the redemtion in question.
Result of this API…

Add common (and uncommon) error responses from API request I received an error I have never seen before and it got me thinking it would be nice to have some documentation on various error messages like "Insufficient authorization in token". Other errors are clear and straight forwards like "missing X scope" however some are vague and unclear.

Improve documentation for WebHooks' hub.secret property The hub.secret property needs far more explaining of how the secret is generated:
"The X-Hub-Signature header is generated by sha256(secret, notification_bytes)"
It should say something along the lines of
"The X-Hub-Signature header is generated by using HMAC sha256 with the provided secret being the one specified in hub.secret: hmac(sha256, hubsecret).hash(notificationbody)"

New Twitch API: Get Top Clips Endpoint Old Twitch v5 API has an endpoint called "Get Top Clips" (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/clips#get-top-clips)
I think the new API should also include this endpoint because the current way of getting the top clips is not exactly the most user friendly one. Currently if you want to get top clips, you need to get all clips using the "Get Clips" endpoint and then sort them out manually on our side. This works if you know exactly what you want. For example if you want top clips for a game you can use the game parameter.
Unfortunately this isn't the most optimal…

Documentation is misleading at best This information is incorrect. The panel and component extensions fail when self hosted with https making it useless to try and test on twitch as it does not function at all. Please update this page or remove it so that people do not attempt to make extensions only to have your code completely ruin the process.

Add existing IRC WHISPER command to IRC documentation The IRC gateway passes whispers using the WHISPER code:
[16:36:15] [@] @badges=bits-charity/1;color=#3E2E18;display-name=foo;emotes=;message-id=2;thread-id=21001676_470220570;turbo=0;user-id=2109996;user-type= :foo!foo!foo.twitch.tv WHISPER myuser :this is a whisperBut I am unable to find any reference to that code on https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/irc/commands where I would expect it, or any other documentation page under the "Chatbots and IRC" section.
I would suggest adding the WHISPER command to the list of commands at the top of the page on the IRC: Commands section, something similar to:
WHISPER Receive a Whisper message from another user
and then the prototype at the bottom, to include the fact that it appears the WHISPER command is…

Add Helper: Feature Flags from extension to the API for backend validation Right now, you can only check if the streamer setup permissions for your extension from the helper, such as isBitsEnabled, isChatEnabled, isSubscriptionStatusAvailable. It would be nice to be able to query the API to see which permissions the streamer setup.
