  1. If the redirect URI of a registered app is set to http://localhost the redirect URI check must work regardless of the port, so if I start the flow using redirect_uri param to "http://localhost:3000" this should work (same as Github is doing).

    This will ease the development of desktop applications that requires oauth2 flow.

  2. As far as I understand, for now, it is possible to ban/unban an user with a channel moderator's OAuth token, but it is still impossible to retrieve the channel's banned users list. It must be done with the broadcaster's OAuth token. Even though moderators have access to this information with the /user chat command.

    If I want to check if an user is banned as a moderator via the API, here's what I currently need to do:
    - perform a ban/unban request on the user
    - check if it returned HTTP 200 or HTTP 400 (respectively meaning successful or user…

  3. Right now, chat bots that post messages in chat from things such as commands. will post the reply in chat, which can become quite spammy. The only solution to this right now is to use whispers, but there is a hard limit on that and doesn't work half of the time anyways. I propose that we should be able to have bots send replies that are hidden to everyone but the person that ran the command.

  5. Off the back of

    https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310213-developers/suggestions/37563241-expose-vips-in-the-api

    Being an endpoint now.

    There is no endpoint for "how many VIP slots does the channel have"

    as per the help doc

    https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/Managing-Roles-for-your-Channel?language=en_US

    it scales based on the unique chatters/build a community achievement.

    So extend the Get VIPs endpoint to report the possible maximum VIPS for the channel I'm getting VIPs of.

  8. I would like to have an API to provide Drops information.

    I would expect this to be secured behind the broadcasters token perhaps with a suitable scope.

    Then this would allow me to see the current active scoring campaign(s) on a given channel.

    This would allow me to provide easier bot commands with direct links to the relevant Twitch campaign page in an automated fashion. Which makes it easier for viewers to get to this data in an on demand fashion if they miss the popup for whatever reason. or the user just needs help from channel mods to understand…

  9. The get-videos API (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-videos) takes either a video id, user_id, or game_id, but does not take a stream_id, so if you want to find the VOD from a stream ID you captured while the stream was live, you have to search back through a user's videos and match them up, which is not super efficient, especially if the stream is old. Could you add stream_id as a possible query parameter please?

    Thanks,
    Chris

  10. Currently, the only API endpoint which can return the current status of the channel is /search/channels, which contains a "is_live" boolean attribute.

    So when I want to know if a channel (knowing its ID) is live through the API, the only way is by calling /channels first to get the channel name, then by calling /search/channels with the channel name, and finally sort the results to find the correct channel.

    This is excessively time and ressources consuming, for both developpers and Twitch servers (two API call instead of just one). Would be great to add a "is_live" field in /channels…

  11. Currently, the only way for a bot to know its chat limits is by hard-coding them. Even using the (undocumented?) user chat info endpoint isn't sufficient to determine what hard-coded limits to apply today, since whisper limits depend on when an account was verified.

    It would be much better for a bot to query a (documented) endpoint and retrieve its rate limits in that way.

  12. Stop asking for my mobile number to register applications or for any reason at all.

    You already get 2fa by sending the verification code through email. Sending it through mobile is an added security risk. It only makes it easier to compromise the account when hackers can just contact the mobile operator to be able to clone our mobile number.

    The verification code through email is plenty. I have secure passwords on both email and twitch accounts, I can make sure they are safe, I can control that. I can't control what my mobile operator does with my SIM ID.…

  13. Given that EventSub only uses an App Access Token.

    It's possible for a developer to obtain user authentication and never store the token (and/of refresh token if one exists (ie implict has no refresh)) and only utilise EventSub.

    Please provide an endpoint

    https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/scopes

    With a required parameter of:

    id - a userID

    That accepts ONLY An App Access Token

    That returns

    {
    data: [
    'array',
    'of'
    'scopes'
    ]
    }
    

    To allow developers to check what scopes a user has authorised the developer/ClientID to utilise

  15. Please provide an endpoint to

    • create
    • update
    • delete
    • fetch

    The /rules of a channel.

    Usecase:

    Moderators/channel staff/lead moderator may need to revise the rules of a channel on the fly.
    This currently would require the broadcaster to "stop streaming"/playing the game/entertaining in order to do so.

    A scope and endpoint should be provided to allowed authorised parties to update the rules.

    Thank you for the feedback! We will consider this, but for now we do not have immediate plans to include cheermotes with this endpoint.

  17. There are a lot of bots and some of them get gifted subs because they are just a "normal" user. anotherttvviewer, carbon14xyz etc. are all known bots and I think the developers of the bot should have the option to mark them as bots like in discord. It would be easier to understand for streamers, and they shouldn't get gifted subs.

  18. It would be useful if we could accept or reject a list of redemptions for handling batch accept/reject events.

    Some examples of usage might be using Channel Points to join a game or a queue where a limited number of people can be accepted in. An app may need to reject a long list of users.

    We have a use case on an upcoming feature and I'm concerned we'll easily hit the rate limit if a few of our larger channels make use of it.

  19. This guide descibes how Partners can assign someone a lifetime sub that doesn't count to rev of points

    https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/lifetime-subscriber-guide-for-partners

    The API doesn't present any information as to who is a lifetime sub or not.
    So we cannot guestimate sub points (or revenue if we are building revenue reporting tools for streamers we work with) from the API as we don't know who is a lifetime sub or not.

    Please provide an API endpoint that lists these subs, which would be "cheaper" than a boolean flag added to the subscribers endpoint

  20. Currently the API doesn't support marking a reward out of stock manually. This may be beneficial for rewards that take some time to process where specifying a hard cooldown wouldn't be appropriate.

    In addition, support for a custom "out of stock" message may benefit some developers. Using sound alerts as an example, if a streamer is in "focus mode" and needs to concentrate on what they are doing, rather than say the default "out of stock" it could say "StreamerX is focusing right now".
