  1. The New Twitch API needs serious attention. I worked considerable with the V3 API and that was rock solid. I'm having a difficult time with the new API. It has a lot of quirks.

    My biggest issue now is that certain calls return an empty response with certain parameters.

    For example, if I try to filter streams with a gameid and language this will return a result with 0 items sometimes while other times it will return the correct results. The behavior is very inconsistent.
    https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?game
    id=33214&language=en

    It works 100% of the time without the language parameter.

  3. Allow game developers to rename a game without going through customer support agents.

    Right now I am trying to go through the process of updating the game name, and it has been a **** for 6 months already. Took a month go get the update happen on GiantBomb, waited few months for Twitch to synchronize, which didn't happen, then started writing to support agents.

    First reply to my ticket was 2 months after I opened it. Support replied with a canned response about renaming a user...

    After reopening the ticket, several weeks later I get the ticket closed again, with…

  5. It is quite hard to find clips using https://www.twitch.tv/manager/clips page to find clips and API does not offer nice solutions to make a 3rd party application to replace it.
    Here are some examples of API request parameters and some of their possible uses.

    curator_id:
    - clip creator can find all their own clips
    - broadcaster can find and delete all the clips from problematic viewer

    vod_id:
    - find clip compilation material for the stream

    created_at:
    - find clip compilation material for the date(and range)
    - find throwback clips - "last year this time we did this"

    broadcaster_id:
    - in combination…

  6. When user IDs in the provided data payload do not exists, the endpoint returns a 500 error. Ideally this should return a more detailed error code with an error message related to user IDs.

  7. Currently the management of extension SKU's is only done via the Developer Rig.

    Since the rig is an optional, many people are developing / testing without using it & the fact that its a development environment, its a strange place to place/manage production SKU's. These would be better managed from the platform itself under the Monetization tab of each Extension.

  9. The given JWT representing the transatction receipt contains a time field that is stringified version of the Golang time object. Parsing in this format is significantly harder than a ISO standard format.

  10. Looking for a metric that helps determine what percentage of viewers tried out the extension. A developer can track the viewer count on their own, but they cannot guarantee that the extension loaded for each user. A metric is desired to calculate that X% of users interacted with the extension, not just a raw value of unique interactions.

  12. There should be a Live Activated Channels with Extensions webhook to get updates once a channel w/ the Extension goes live- similar to the Stream Changed webhook, this would reduce the amount of polling needed.

  13. There are two scenarios when using this API which return a 500 from the server, but which should return either a 401 or 400 and a meaningful error code to help point out the issue:

    1. If you have set your productSKU's to 'live', but you're testing in 'Hosted testing', you receive this error. A response telling you that you cannot test SKUs in live mode when in hosted testing would be great.

    2. If your extension is live and you are trying to use bits on a channel which doesnt support it, you will receive a 500 from the server. I…

  15. The Twitch Developer Rig should support pubsub whispers. It current supports normal broadcasts, but not whispers to target a specific user's frontend.

  16. bits revshare is obviously not enough to build a sustainable small/medium business on twitch extensions atm (except 1-2 examples out of hundreds). reasons behind as I see them - extensions are for small streamers mostly. middle/big ones are not that into extensions as a product category. thus even being featured 24/7 doesn't provide enough viewers to actually get $1000-5000 dev payout for most of devs. not to mention retention aspect.

    moreover streamers are not that eager for bits. their current meta is to grow subs.

    so the idea is to provide devs with ability to work with subscriptions and get…

  17. Some developers may need to cycle their Extension's whitelist with a big number of accounts. There's already an option to mass add users to a whitelist. So it's only natural to complement it with a mass delete.

  18. Game developers can currently upload only the boxart, but to upload the banner they have to reach out to Twitch to update. It would be nice to have this moved into the site to make it easier to manage.

  19. Hey Twitch,

    The current Twitch IFTTT service is a great start. However, I'd like to see more event triggers for streamers. In specific:
    - If new subscriber on my channel (with variations for sub gift bundles)
    - If resub on my channel (with variations matching Twitch badges 1/3/6/12/etc)
    - If new host to my channel
    - If new raid to my channel
    - If cheer amount (with variation options)
    - If Tip/Donation (with variation options)

    Reason for request: Those of us who have Nanoleaf, Phillips Hue, or smart lights could utilize those event triggers to create some very cool lighting…

  20. I want to a way to embed the Twitch player natively inside an iOS app. The existing web embed is not as efficient or usable as a native player could be.
