Add Process to Get Access to GQL
Currently, GQL is, as far as we know, for first-party and authorized developers only, but its unclear how anyone can gain access to use GQL under proper Twitch authority. There are tons of functions and features in GQL given it helps power Twitch that could aid many developers in building incredible tools to fill gaps in communities. A few immediate items that come up that could be solved very quickly (while we wait for public endpoints):
-Adjust the Role Manager (Add/Remove Mods, VIPs, Editors)
-Remove & Rename Clips
-Action Channel Redemptions including Accept and Reject, get Redemption Data including Pending Redemptions
There are plenty more opportunities that hundreds of developers would be able to come up with. I understand why GQL isn't publically available, but we have no description of how we can create an opportunity where we can use this API to aid our clients and help the Twitch Community - we're just left with an answer all the time of "third party devs can't use GQL".
We would appreciate the opportunity to at least be able to have knowledge on how we can create this opportunity. Thank you!

We understand that there is functionality in the first-party GQL interface that could be useful for third-party development. It is true that the GQL that powers Twitch is not meant for third-party use and we do not have plans to grant third-party developers access to this resource. There is no undocumented method or opportunity to gain access. Therefore, I will close out this ticket.
That being said, we are open to your suggestions regarding functionality seen in GQL that could be a useful addition to any current or future interface specifically for third-party developers (i.e. API, Webhooks). I've added links to existing feedback items that I believe covers the list above, one of which I see you added.
