Include emote artist in the Get Emote Sets endpoint
The API does not include any attribution info at the moment, it would be nice if we could get the artist's username and id with the emote data :)

Great idea, would love to have that. In addition to that, it would be useful to have a dedicated "get channel artists" endpoint like the ones that return a list of mods/VIPs.
My app has some functionality that can be triggered by viewers during a stream and some of that functionality should be restricted to special members, like mods, VIPs and artists. But currently there is no reliable way to check for artist status, which makes this hard to implement.
My current workaround is to identify artists based on checking received chat messages for the artist badge, but that's obviously not optimal as it requires artists to participate in chat with the badge equipped for this to work.

I'd really love to bump this idea! I've made a post over in the Twitch Developer discussions area (https://discuss.dev.twitch.com/t/emote-api-artist-attribution/56408/3), outlining my desired use case for this feature.
I’m trying to use the Twitch Helix Emotes API to retrieve channel emotes (for a panel extension). However, it doesn’t appear to have any information surrounding the Artist Attribution, despite being plainly available in the Chat area itself.
I can see that this idea was shared almost 2 years ago, so I'm really hoping to find a way to nudge this further as this feels really important to have!
