  1. Since the docs are so long, and each header has an ID you can link to, you should put a link icon that copies the link to clipboard for each header for easy sharing.

  2. Provide a link to the referenced branch associated with each step.

    There are no branches for steps 3 and 4. The existing branches don't correlate to the code presented for each step on this page.
    And there's messy commented out code in all of the files on GitHub.

    Also, 4 steps are explained, and then the last sentence in this doc mentions the Step 1 branch

  3. This tutorial looks very unprofessional.

    The example GitHub repository is not available from an official Twitch source, but lives in someone's personal
    account at:
    https://github.com/sonia145

    These GitHub organizations would be better alternatives:
    https://github.com/twitchtv
    https://github.com/twitchdev

  4. I received an error I have never seen before and it got me thinking it would be nice to have some documentation on various error messages like "Insufficient authorization in token". Other errors are clear and straight forwards like "missing X scope" however some are vague and unclear.

  5. The hub.secret property needs far more explaining of how the secret is generated:

    "The X-Hub-Signature header is generated by sha256(secret, notification_bytes)"

    It should say something along the lines of

    "The X-Hub-Signature header is generated by using HMAC sha256 with the provided secret being the one specified in hub.secret: hmac(sha256, hubsecret).hash(notificationbody)"

  6. Unhelpful page. I want to send an API request to test through Postman, but I do not understand what format to put it in. It is asking for an OAuth token, but that request does not mention anything about that. Very confusing.

  7. the V5 scope 'user_read' is not listed here. In the migration document it suggests that that is equivalent to the helix scope user:read:email. Is that correct?

    Is there a V5 scope that matches the new helix user:read:broadcast

  8. https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/irc/guide#command--message-limits says:
    - 20 authenticate attempts per 10 seconds per user (200 for verified bots)
    - 20 join attempts per 10 seconds per user (2000 for verified bots)

    however it's unclear how these limits apply to anonymous connections. Is there no limit to join attempts at all when you have authenticated as an anonymous user? And do authentication attempts for anonymous users (NICK justinfan12345) count towards the rate limit?

  9. As the Helix API reference page (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference) is continuing to grow it it is starting to become unwieldly with the number of entries.

    It would be beneficial to the docs to create sections for different areas of the API. Appropriate names for the sections are already listed in the API, as at the top of the reference page is a table that has a 'Resource' column which would be perfect for this usage, and that table can remain at the root reference page so that devs can see at a glance what endpoints are in what section, then…

    Planned  ·  cycene responded

    This has been on the roadmap, and is planned for early 2021.

  10. https://imgur.com/a/kBcNDeh

    The use of bullet points reads and the "and" tacked onto the end of the first bullet point makes it unclear

    The wording should be revised so it's more obvious that "onTransactionComplete" is to be sent to instances where the userID matches the userID that initiated.

    Since the first bullet point is superflous, since the userID of the first bullet point is also matched by the second bullet point.

  11. Hey, it says "/vip /unvip" is under "channel:moderate" scope, wouldn't that be moderator status? because I'm sure moderators can't grant/remove VIP status to a user. Or am I wrong?

  12. https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/authentication

    Says

    Authentication involves:
    
    Registering your app to obtain a client ID and client secret.
    Getting a token. This includes specifying scopes, the permissions your app requires.
    Sending the token in your API request, to authenticate API requests.
    
    

    But doesn't mention that an Extension is also an Application

    This docs fix would be needed on other pages where "registering an app" is mentioned

  13. https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/extensions/reference#helper-viewer

    SNIPPET STARTS

    onChanged
    Twitch.ext.viewer.onChanged: void function(callback: Function())

    This function binds a callback will be invoked when the viewer’s status changes (e.g. if a viewer subscribes and changes their subscription status).

    SNIPPET ENDS

    Cannot tell if broken or only triggers on subscription status change.

    IE is it supposed to trigger on role changes? If so it's bugged, if not the documentation needs to document what does cause onChanged to be called

  14. Pagination Support
    None.
    There is a limit of only 50 Custom Rewards on a channel at a time.

    It's unclear if that means 50 active rewards or 50 total rewards. It should be more plain text/clear.

    The help article

    https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/making-the-most-of-channel-points?language=en_US

    doesn't mentioned this limit either.

  16. It appears that the Glitch file has been changed! I couldn't get the !dice command to work, until i figured that the command had been changed to !d20 along with the number of sides changed to 20. Or maybe this was a ploy.... to help me understand coding better... Thanks!

  17. The example and/or documentation of the "Channel Points Event Message" seem to be wrong/misleading, because the example reply does not match the structure of "Message Parameters: All Messages"

  18. https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#modify-channel-information

    The example calls uses JSON, but the documentation talks about Query String/URL encoded form.

    Docs should cover both possibilities and examples should cover both methods

  20. The description of the broadcaster_id inside of the Create Clip endpoint is very confusing because it states that this is the id of the stream but it really is the id of the broadcaster as the name suggests.
