Provide an API to trigger the new warning system to users from moderators
Please provide API access to allow moderator bots and/or third party chat clients to initiate warnings sent to users that break rules.
An API should also be provided for clients to obtain the warning history of viewers.
EventSub should also be provided so that moderator (b) can be informed that moderator (a) sent a warning (and prevent duplicate warning attempts) and/or logging those warnings

Available in open beta as of last week and will be considered "generally available" after any UserVoice feedback during the beta period is considered in the next few weeks. https://discuss.dev.twitch.com/t/chat-warnings-are-now-available-via-the-api-and-eventsub-in-an-open-beta/59511

Every bot/integration/interactivity feature dev on twitch would be thrilled with this.
Would also be cool if, in general, moderation features like this would be released /WITH/ already existing API endpoints and event sub.
I imagine there's reasons I'm ignorant of for them not being instantly rolled out with API endpoints, but it still feels kinda silly to have to ask for API access to new and extremely useful moderation tools.

Api to send warnings would be amazing as it would allow moderation tools and bots to use this system over adding messages to standard chat system to warn them.
