  1. I use multiple twitch VOD embeds on my site, and I'd love to be able to show the chats for at least one of those VODs. Ideally I would just be able to embed a chat like I embed a VOD somewhere on the page, tying it somehow to an already embedded VOD. Another thing I'd be happy with would be an event stream of messages plus relevant data like usernames, badges, and emotes so I could build the chat myself. I'd also want it to support seeking the same way a normal twitch VOD chat replay supports seeking

  2. 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…

  3. Extend the banned API to allow filtering on the API by the moderator whom performed an action.

    Third party tools may need to check the actions that a given moderator did, or ask the moderator to reconcile their bans/actions post stream with additional resoaning/comments in an external tool

  4. Kraken equivalent[1] of Get Users Follows offers a way to sort query results by either creation date, last broadcast or login name. There's also a way to sort results in either ascending or descending order. Helix however doesn't offer any ways of sorting results of your query and results are always shown descending without giving you the option to get those in ascending order.
    In case you need to fetch exactly the first follow or get followers that have been live last, it becomes problematic if your query has lots of results - you'd need to paginate through all of…

  5. Would be nice to see an example with more than one scope. If I separate them with a space, I only gain access to the first one in the list.

  6. Add examples of popular 3rd party libraries.

    The current example is very specific and only targets one language. Many community driven libraries are continuously developing and mainting IRC capablities in languages such as; Python, JS/TS, C# and more.

    It would be nice in general to see more support for these libraries and even giving some sort of verfication to popular libraries that are maintained and meet quality standards.

  7. In the new badge-related endpoints, badge objects in returned sets contain only their IDs and URLs, which compared to the only existing alternative (undocumented badges.twitch.tv endpoint announced in twitchdev forums[1]) isn't enough for things like custom chat clients that are very popular among many Twitch users.
    Ever since that undocumented endpoint came to existence, we've been using it in our chat client and would at least need "description" and "title" properties that are present in badges.twitch.tv to display information about badges properly and replicate webchat's behavior. I believe both APIs use the same internal data (at least for Global Badges)…

  8. The v5 endpoint contains the follower's account creation date, the new endpoint (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-users-follows) does not.

    Knowing when a follower created their account is very useful to moderators monitoring recent follows to keep an eye on potentially problematic users (new account could mean a previously banned user returning) or to detect mass follows from bots (which often have a similar account creation date). Monitoring recent follows is especially useful in follow-only chat mode.

    While it is possible to get the account creation date from the "Get Users" endpoint (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-users) and then merge it with the follower data,…

  9. The Create Poll endpoint has optional query parameters to allow additional votes using either bits or channel points.

    However, it doesn't actually allow multiple votes. This can be seen in the pubsub response which explictly states that "multi_choice" (property indicating whether additional votes are allowed) is not enabled.

    When creating a poll through the web interface, it works just fine as it is created through the GQL and not the API. The GQL message also has an additional property to explicitly allow additional votes, on top of the properties that are used to either allow additional votes by bits and/or…

  10. Scenario:
    A viewer comes in and gifts 10 subs to the community; This fires off in theory 11 events. One event is the channel.subscribe.gift, while the other 10 are the individual channel.subscribe for the 10 users.

    Request:
    The channel.subscribe.gift has an id associated with its emission. Something that would benefit reactionary data would be each of the individual channel.subscribe events having a gift_event_id. If the sub was a gift, set the id to the channel.subscribe.gift event id.

    Use Cases:
    - A developer could choose to listen to the batched gift amount and react to that single event, then…

  12. The Kraken API for querying videos lists the available resolutions for archived broadcasts and current streams. The new API does not.

  13. In V5, it is possible to get all emotes that existed on the platform via both
    "get-all-chat-emoticons"
    and
    "get-chat-emoticons-by-set" (when no sets are provided)

    This currently has no equivalence in Helix, and also has no listed migration path.

    This request is to create an endpoint that returns the list of all emote sets (and ideally their last update time) such as "get-all-emote-sets". This would allow a user to then get all emotes via the "helix get-emote-sets" endpoint that currently exists.

  14. Both of the APIs for getting subscriptions for a broadcaster don't include the actual date of the subscription with the data:

    https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-broadcaster-subscriptions
    https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#check-user-subscription

    This makes it impossible to compute things such as subscription length dynamically as the only way to get subscriptions dates now is to be listening for the subscription event itself when it occurs. The V5 version of these APIs have this data point in them:

    https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/channels#get-channel-subscribers
    https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/channels#check-channel-subscription-by-user

  15. I would like to see more than one user per schedule API query. Similar to querying the streams and channel information from up to 100 users. That would be of great help with the rate limits.

    Best greetings ^^

  16. Please add a JS Helper function

    Which is the equivalent of window.Twitch.ext.viewer.sessionToken but for the helixToken of window.Twitch.ext.viewer.helixToken.

  17. When creating a Drop, it would be great if you could set it up to give the viewer an option to choose "x" number of Rewards from a pool of "y" options.

    Examples:

    1. The viewer is presented with the options of an Ultimate Ball, a Super Ball, or a Mega Ball as their Reward, and they're allowed to pick one.

    2. The viewer can choose two items from the following: coins, a skin, a beta-access key.

  18. The new prediction/polls APIs are very welcome, but it would be useful to know who started/locked/ended a prediction.

    Maybe to display info to chatters who to talk to about the rules of the current prediction or maybe to log potential abuse of predictions.

  19. 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.

  20. For example when I request emote set 300548756 (The rpg limited time emotes) It only returns RPGAyaya when I as a user possess all of that emote set. other limited time sets do the same with some not returning any emotes at all.
