  1. 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…

  2. When a "gift bomb"

    there is no way to gather all the gifts into one event.
    Each gift in a bomb should have a ID to link it to the header event.

    IRC sends a header saying "x is giving out y subs to the community"
    But the USERNOTICE events, don't say they belong to that event.

    Please provide a way to group the events, something as simple as a "parentid" in the child gifts subs, that'll link to a "childid" in the header event.

    This header and extra ID's need to be provided on the PubSub event…

  3. "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!

  4. 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…

  5. Imagine the following attack for the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow:

    1. Attacker steals the authorization code from the redirect URI.
    2. Attacker forces his instance of the client to redeem the victim's authorization code.
    3. 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…

  6. IRC has a number of "upgrade" events

    giftpaidupgrade / anongiftpaidupgrade and one related to "prime to real" that I don't have the tag/msg-id for

    A "subscriber upgrades" topic would be useful, if this doesn't fall under "sub notifications" - https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310213-developers/suggestions/42008104-please-provide-an-event-sub-that-emits-sub-notifi

    I could see a benifit to having this as a seperate topic, or tied into the "notifications" topic

  7. 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 whisper
    

    But 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…

  8. https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/extensions/reference/#send-extension-pubsub-message

    The docs say Valid values: "broadcast", "global".

    But, the target 'whisper-opaqueId' to send "per user" pusub message is missing.

  9. 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…

  11. 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…

    We 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.

  12. 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)

  13. 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…

  14. 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

  15. 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…

  16. 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:

    https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v2/emotesv2_53ff77f7c67641528739780d90568494/default/light/1.0

    At the moment all gif emotes are given png url's.

    This 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)

  17. 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.
    Suggest to update the sample and this article to reference the helix APIs instead.

  18. https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/irc/guide#command--message-limits says:
    - 20 authenticate attempts per 10 seconds per user (200 for verified bots)
    - 20 join attempts per 10 seconds per user (2000 for verified bots)

    however it's unclear how these limits apply to anonymous connections. Is there no limit to join attempts at all when you have authenticated as an anonymous user? And do authentication attempts for anonymous users (NICK justinfan12345) count towards the rate limit?

  19. 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.
