Documented API for streams and VODs
It would be most helpful if there was a documented API for accessing live and VOD video streams that 3rd party clients could use.
It's no secret that there are a variety of 3rd party clients for different platforms that use undocumented APIs that Twitch has made available for a long time. Understandably this is not officially supported, and the future of this status quo is unclear.

Helix has no way to get title/game for a channel that is offline
Using just helix it is impossible to get the title/status or game of a channel when it is offline.
Which makes it difficult for third party tools to obtain title/game to check it should match what we want before the channel goes live, so that notifications for the channel (email etc) have the correct game/title.
Additionally bot commands such as
"!caster - caster link to caster was last seen playing game"
are difficult to achieve using pure Helix

Create Clip enhancements
When creating a clip via the Create Clip API, it is VERY limited compared to the (not for public use) GraphQL interface. Requesting that the following enhancements be made to the Create Clip API so that 3rd party apps can leverage them:
1) Add ability to specify the clip start time (number of seconds from when the broadcast started). Reason: when deciding when to create a clip, apps may want to look back 10-15 seconds instead of generating the clip starting from when the API is called.
2) Add ability to specify the clip title. Reason: currently, the API defaults…15 votes -
Polls API
Please provide an API to CRUD polls and observe the results in real time when a poll is ran.
Ability to read historical/past polls would also be nice

Please add a "isAutohost" boolean to https://tmi.twitch.tv/hosts
Currently we have to grab this Informtion about autohosts from the IRC Chat. But why? Why not just adding a boolean (for example: "isAutohost": true/false) into the already existing hosts endpoint for tmi.twitch.tv o.O?
Would love to have something like that. Thanks!

Add created timestamp to /helix/users
A user's created timestamp is not yet available through Helix. The updated timestamp is personally less useful but would be nice for consideration.

Add subscriber only status to Streams API endpoint.
Right now there is no official way (there is an undocumented endpoint) to determine whether a stream is sub only or not. Subscriber only status prohibits a lot of people from interacting with the stream, so it'd make sense for applications to be aware of such a state.

Extend Clips API to provide the MP4 url so editors can automate downloads
If I have an oAuth that represents a User, where the User is either
- the broadcaster the clip is of
- an editor of the channel that the clip is of
- the user is the owner of the clip
And I make a request for a Clip as documented: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-clips
(but with the bearer naturally)
The JSON Response should include the direct link to the MP4 or an ability to download the Clip.
This is off the back of the removal/deprecation of some undocumented API's that I was using to get the MP4 URL for automated download for creation of clip…

Add user_login to /helix/streams
Some users have display names (the "user_name" property) that do not work for IRC or even in URLs. This requires an additional call to /helix/users with the ID to get the login which I find more crucial than the display name that is already included.
Here are two examples:
The user "riotgames" (ID 36029255) has a display name with a space. "twitch.tv/Riot Games" does not redirect to "twitch.tv/riotgames".
The user "hanryang1125" (ID 103825127) has a display name with Korean characters. "twitch.tv/풍월량" does not redirect to "twitch.tv/hanryang1125".
Neither of these display name would work for IRC, which goes for most display…

Add an endpoint to update Stream title and game in Helix API
Add an endpoint to edit the stream title and currently played game, the equivalent in v5 was:
PUT /kraken/channels/<channel ID> with "status" and "game" fields.
The PUT /helix/streams/tags endpoint accomplishes parts of this, an implementation could look like this:
PUT /helix/streams [required scope: user:edit:broadcast]
Request fields: user_id to identify the user whose stream is to be edited, game_id to identify the game played and title to set the stream title/status.6 votes -

Add functionality to query broadcaster id and user id for the Bits transaction API
It would be convenient to have the ability to query Bits transactions based on broadcaster id and user id. This is extremely helpful for Extensions with lots of transactions and saves on calls to the API that would be necessary for paginating until the desired transaction is found.

Add subscriber count to a Helix endpoint
Add subscriber count to a Helix endpoint. This is important information for many streaming tools. Scope is an open question; whether anyone should be able to see someone's subscriber count or if this is only visible by the broadcaster's authentication.

Include follow count in /helix/users
Add follow count to /helix/users endpoint. This data is accessible via /helix/users/follows, but would require an additional call.
