  1. Honestly this whole documentation is a bit sloppy. There should be clearer examples of using the APIs as I had to go Googling how the authentication actually works as the headers seem to be different than this suggests.

  2. Topic.

    Cannot control highlight message/unlock emote rewards to enable/disable/change price or even list them etc via this API

    Example usages

    We might turn off emote "buying" on a Thursday as we are about to load a WHOLE new Set in for a big game on Monday. Is one thought.

    But I can't automate them.

    Also any number of tasks the streamer would like us (moderators/staff of the channel) to help manage but we can't if those rewards are API locked (and UI locked) out from "channel staff" being able to help manage

    Additionally, I'll get asked by the streamer I…

  3. When you have an application that uses channel points quite a lot and also reacts to them and does things, the chat is spammed with the redemption notifications which can negatively affect the chat experience.

    I suggest adding a flag to custom redemptions that prevents the chat notification from being sent.

  4. Cheering Bits is the most famous way to support a streamer. However, it can be somewhat challenging for new users to get familiar with the Twitch Chat commands to properly do so.

    I propose an API which allows to trigger a regular cheer.
    This call obviously should not be signed instantly, but sandboxed where the Twitch backend requires a "Yes / No" response via GUI from the user.

    I think this can improve the user experience a lot and it can also improve the general usage of Twich Bits.
    For instance, many streamers use overlays in their stream to react…

  5. The page at

    https://dashboard.twitch.tv/u/barrycarlyon/community/channel-points/rewards

    Will list all rewards.

    But it's not super obvious which rewards "I made" or which rewards "an API call" made.

    So in theory a streamer not paying attention could delete an integration created reward.

    I'm not saying "remove" the delete button, just add additional wording

  6. Submitting this on behalf of Jeff Fritz, which he mentioned while talking about a Channel Points streaming opportunity. I was talking about building an example that uses webhooks to flag when a specific category is selected for a stream so a developer knows when to enable or disable a channel points reward. His question was why Twitch doesn't handle that automatically.

    If there was an optional category property that could be set when creating the custom reward, Twitch could potentially handle enabling/disabling a reward more reliably if the context for switching is a category update, which would probably be the…

  7. Many times, "viewer_count" response field doesn't change during several minutes (due to caching?). However, when you're watching a stream you can see how this data is refreshed each 20-25 seconds.

    Benefit: Increase the precision of apps that use this field

  8. The cheers topic of PubSub doesn't give emote placement like the Subscribers topic does.

    Please extend cheers topic to include the Emote placement like Subscriptions does

    For example

          "sub_message": {
            "message": "A Twitch baby is born! KappaHD",
            "emotes": [
              {
                "start": 23,
                "end": 7,
                "id": 2867
              }
            ]
          }
    

    Should be included with Cheers on PubSub

  9. The twitch apps games screen is pretty limited. Many have over 100 games on there by now. So I would like to be able to build my own web app and let users log in via twitch and browse their claimed games collection where I can provide filters and search for games using whatever data is available about the games. To do this there must of course be an API where I can retrieve the game list and meta data about them.

  10. There's currently no way to unfollow a game from the API, in any of the existing APIs (helix, v5, v3). You can follow a game in v5, but not unfollow. Helix has nothing related to games/category. The website itself uses GQL.

  12. There's no gameid or gamename in the helix get videos endpoint.
    Its a bit weird that you get all the information except what's actually being played in the video

  13. On helix we can only get people that are subscribed to a broadcaster, we can't get the broadcasters a user is subscribed to.

    So basically we've got V5 channels/<channel ID>/subscriptions.
    We are missing V5 <user ID>/subscriptions/<channel ID>.

  15. It seems that it’s currently impossible to determine who is streaming to a shared channel using the Authorized Broadcaster feature. I tested on my own channels and it appears as if the https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/<mysharedchannel> endpoint does not include any information on the authorized broadcaster streaming to that channel.

    Is this something in the works or planned? It would be very helpful for building extensions and bot commands for shared channels.

    Note: when adding an email address to the authorized broadcaster list, it does check that the email is associated with a valid Twitch account, so this information should be available…

  18. I utilize the API endpoints to disable a few things while wrapping up my stream (such as disabling commands, channel point rewards, change chat modes, etc). Within this workflow, I recently realized it would be super helpful to be able to disable or configure the raid-ability status of my channel as well. It would also be helpful to be able to control the other parameters, such as the min/max amount of viewers in a raid, account age, etc. It would all be amazing to be able to control through the API in the event of a wrapup, raid abuse, etc.

  19. The videos endpoint currently support GET requests to retrieve information about published videos and DELETE requests to remove videos. It would be nice to support PATCH requests to be able to modify a video's information, at least the title, description and thumbnail.

    I like to edit my video's thumbnail at the end of my stream, and right now I need to do it manually in the Video Producer. I'd like to automate this process, and the absence of PATCH request prevents me from doing it so far.

    Thanks in advance!

  20. In the twitch IRC tags documentation, there are multiple instances and examples of the "flags" tag being returned. But it is not documented, its use is related to automod but to what extent is not known.
