Extend Clips API to provide the MP4 url so editors can automate downloads If I have an oAuth that represents a User, where the User is either
- the broadcaster the clip is of
- an editor of the channel that the clip is of
- the user is the owner of the clip
And I make a request for a Clip as documented: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-clips
(but with the bearer naturally)
The JSON Response should include the direct link to the MP4 or an ability to download the Clip.
This is off the back of the removal/deprecation of some undocumented API's that I was using to get the MP4 URL for automated download for creation of clip…

Chatters / Viewers Helix API Endpoint The existing API endpoint for getting chatters predates User IDs and only returns usernames. It's also part of TMI and not officially documented, which could result in it being removed at any point without any notice.
Many bots use the endpoint for channel loyalty points, and then have to make secondary calls to the get the user ID.
220 votesWe are actively reviewing the use cases that were shared in the quarterly survey that closed on August 1. 72 developers provided feedback for this question, which we greatly appreciate! This will help us understand the best design for such an endpoint. Given this research, we will move the suggestion into "Investigating."

Stream title searching "The v5 endpoint searched for the channel title and category. Use “Search Channels” to match channel name or title." on https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/migration is wrong because the new API does not matches the title! There is no replacement for title searching!

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…

Please document optional OAuth 2.0 authorization flow parameter "nonce" Imagine the following attack for the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow:
- Attacker steals the authorization code from the redirect URI.
- Attacker forces his instance of the client to redeem the victim's authorization code.
- If the attacker's instance of the client is faster than the victim's instance of the client in redeeming the authorization code, the attacker will get a valid login session within his instance of the client, but for the victim's account.
This attack should especially get attention in the context of Twitch and live streaming, since many streamers are definitely not aware of this vulnerability: If people are logging…

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…

Extension Pubsub Docs missing whisper targer. https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/extensions/reference/#send-extension-pubsub-message

Raids [beta] sends all raids even raids that don't appear in chat The raids beta topic, sends raids that don't appear in chat via the IRC raid USERNOTICE
Please either
- extend the payload to mark if a raid appears in chat or not
or
- provide a condition to ignore/include/only be "non chat raids"
or
- all of the above
Please do not remove non chat raids, as developers/streamers would like flexibility on what to actually notify for/collect data on.
Regardless of any limitations Twitch puts in place on what appears in chat.
Would also like to collect it for statistical purposes/reporting on small/large raids for a given stream.
There may also be an…

Add image_format or is_animated field to helix Emote endpoints With the addition of animated emotes there is no way to tell from the emote API responses of GetChannelEmotes and GetEmoteSets if a new emote ( id starting with "emotesv2_") is a normal emote or an animated gif emote without downloading it and checking the file contents.
Would be nice to have either a "format" field that tells you "png" or "gif", or at least a "is_animated" bool field for each emote.
Use cases: Whenever you wanna show emote stats or emote info for a channel (like in a chat clients or stats website or emote panel) you often wanna…
6 votesWe will be updating the documentation to make it clearer that the image in the payload will always be a static image. We are also planning to document the URL schema for the CDN to retrieve the animated version.

Document API and IRC tags for replies Web chat users got access to the new "replies" feature, where you can mark your message to be a reply of another message.
My suggestion is to add official documentation on how third parties can use this feature (for sending messages and for parsing received messages to be a reply)

Helix Create Poll endpoint doesn't actually allow additional votes for polls. 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…

Emotes referred to as numbers, where this is no longer true The PRIVMSG Twitch Tags documententation
https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/irc/tags#privmsg-twitch-tags
says
Information to replace text in the message with emote images. This can be empty. Syntax: <emote ID>:<first index>-<last index>,<another first index>-<another last index>/<another emote ID>:<first index>-<last index>... emote ID – The number to use in this URL:Due to channel point modifications, this is no longer true, as emote's are no longer always numbers, they can be xxxx_hf for example

PubSub Channel Points Data Layout Cleanup Right now, most of the PubSub topics are inconsistent with each other (understandably so). This, however, is focusing on cleaning up some of the ChannelPoints event data that is either unnecessary, redundant, or unclear:
As a note, the information stripped away from the structure is not invalid data, but rather data we likely don't need per message and instead should have a fetch api like manner. One example is the image objects that are likely to never change in the lifetime of a reward. This would save needless encoding as well as any data costs there may be on either…

GetChannelEmotes does not return GIF URL's The new GetChannelEmotes endpoint does not return the correct image url for gif emotes.
For example on Lirik:
for an animated emote it returns the url:
https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v1/emotesv2_53ff77f7c67641528739780d90568494/1.0
When in fact the correct url should of been:
At the moment all gif emotes are given png url's.
3 votesThis is the intended behavior. We will be updating the documentation to make it clearer that static images are returned and we will also be documenting the CDN URL schema to request different aspects of the emote (e.g. static/animated, light/dark/, etc)

Update References to v5 API There are reference to V5 API here to get user and channel ID.
Combined with the GitHub Sample at https://github.com/twitchdev/pubsub-javascript-sample that is still using it this is very confusing to get to work.

anonsubgift, anonsubmysterygift, anongiftpaidupgrade are documented but never occur https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/irc/tags#usernotice-twitch-tags documents anonsubgift and anongiftpaidupgrade. I found this announcement post https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/anonymous-sub-gifting-to-launch-11-15-launch-details/18683 saying that apparently it was temporarily disabled as a workaround. As far as I can tell to this day the workaround is used. The documentation should be updated to remove the originally planned but never put into service types, and instead document that anonymous gifts come from AnAnonymousGifter.
