How can we improve the developer experience on Twitch?

Developers: API

Categories

JUMP TO ANOTHER FORUM

(thinking…)

Please provide an API for the new "Unban Request" system

So that third party developers can be notified of new unban request
And that third party developers can respond to those unban requests, the same way as you can on the moderator view

    This would also help people to log unban requests text, in case a moderator accidentally unbans or if people get banned multiple times.

    Dear Twitch I Thought Of This Idea Because Theres NO Way Banned People Like
    Myself Cant Contact If A Streamer Bans A Person Who Bans People Who Are Following Chat IS AGAINST TWITCH RULES And Have That Streamer Know About Accidental Bans

    As a software developer, I even thought about this, I found the solution according to the address sent to the request, but because it was insufficient, the process can only be done with javascript codes.

    The ability to interact with ban appeals with API would be a useful tools for developers who create full moderation/management suites for broadcasters. This could include the ban reason, the appeal reason. This would also help us fill the gaps with missing information that Twitch has right now, like tracking the number of appeals or storing the appeal reason after approved.

    Just like the ban api allows to get the ban, user and reason, I would like to be able to be notified when a request has been answered

    Please make sure that channel moderators have access to this as well, not just with a broadcaster token. This allows moderators to make use of clientside moderation tools.

    Twitch API needs revamped on the whole: a single unified documentation that purges the old pages would be nice. Google anything and you get old versions. It's actually pretty annoying to get started with.
  • PosadaBot commented  ·   ·  Report

    For pubsub, the following topics exist but should be officially documented:
    channel-unban-requests.<user-id>.<channel-id>
    user-unban-requests.<user-id>.<channel-id>

    (and the channel version would be a higher priority for my use case)

    @itmkoeln An API to handle incoming unban requests doesn't have to mean an API to file unban requests. You can have things like approving and denying but not having the ability to create requests.

    If they provide an API for this expect Spam Bots autofile UNBAN ME Pls request... it is even less usefull than implementing it at all...

    I banned serval hundred users over the past year. And unbanned: 5. Out of the 5, 3 were ultimatively banned shortly after again and 2 were banned as innocent casulties in a spam bot attack...
