6th most-voted idea in this section and there hasn't been a single update from Twitch regarding this. Come on Twitch!

I think its not a official way to use these API keys. You need to buy original API keys then you have to use it. I also did the same thing for my website https://www.travellersquest.com/blog/mountain-biking-in-nepal/.

This is a really needed extension to the TwitchAPI. My loyalty system is currently using current chatters endpoint, but that approach is excluding lurkers. They are just as important so it's sad to see there's no official way to get that data.

I can't believe there isn't an official, documented solution for this in 2022. Twitch, this is urgently needed, especially as we move towards community-driven creator ecosystems where seeing who is active and who isn't is key.

This endpoint should no longer exist.

It should have never made it to v5 and I'm perplexed how an open endpoint that shows all of the viewers in chat is still active. It's been abused for years.

If you need to keep it, then add a `channel:read:chatters` scope; and don't grandfather it in. Sunset.

It would be nice if this endpoint will also return user IDs, not just their logins. Maybe even chat badges.

There is still no official way to get a user list of viewers/chatters. At the moment lots of implementations (especially for activity rewards) rely on undocumented/unofficial endpoints.
I am open for helping out into finding a solution that could work best as a eventsub topic.

Not only for loyalty, this is very helpful for moderation, so you can see who is in the channel, especially which mods are online or not. The mods are also on the undocumented endpoint.

With the scheduled sunset of /NAMES the undocumented endpoint will probably be seeing and increase in usage. I'm sure lots of bot devs would like to see a long term/documented endpoint for chatter lists. Mostly related to loyalty points.

👍 This is still needed even with Twitch's Channel Points
