search archived videos by stream id
The get-videos API (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-videos) takes either a video id, user_id, or game_id, but does not take a stream_id, so if you want to find the VOD from a stream ID you captured while the stream was live, you have to search back through a user's videos and match them up, which is not super efficient, especially if the stream is old. Could you add stream_id as a possible query parameter please?
Thanks,

+1 this would be a helpful feature. The API documentation for the "streams" endpoint even states, and I quote: (from stream query response) "id, String, An ID that identifies the stream. You can use this ID later to look up the video on demand (VOD)." You CANNOT in fact "use this ID later to look up the video on demand (VOD)." As far as I am aware there is not a way to look up a VOD ID from a stream ID obtained from the streams endpoint
