Adding a Request Query Parameter for creator_id in the Get Clips API
Currently in the Get Clips API (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#get-clips) there isn't a way to set one of the request query parameters to include the creator_id, but you can see this in the response body. This would be useful for filtering clips from just 1 user. The only way to filter right now is by requesting every clip from a channel and filtering the clips yourself. I don't like doing this, because it takes a long time, and is prone to missing clips. It also creates a ton of useless API calls that could be avoided by allowing this filtering during the initial get request.

This should be an essential for clip management and would allow for many useful tools.
As stated the number of API requests wasted without it is prohibitive, plus not allowing combinations of "mutually exclusive" filters game_id, and broadcaster_id for filtering clips is silly.
