  1. The channel.subscription events are very lackluster. Aside from checking if it’s a gift, and what tier it was there isn’t much useful data here. Any chance we could see something like months total, moths streak, or the tier? I know this data is there in the subscriptions API call, just curious as to why it hasn’t been included in this release of the EventSub system. Seems like a miss there

    The channel.ban/channel.unban events could/should be merged. Just smash em into one topic and include a tag: “isBanned” as a boolean. Seems silly to have them separate, in my opinion.

  2. 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.

  3. With the helix oAuth requirements

    It is often a problem for the less experienced developer to get started, as they don't understand certain rules and limitations around the API.

    The less experienced developer may then choose to generate and leak their client secret, or app access tokens on their "front end only" websites in error.

    So I propose that if the token is identified as App Access/Client Credentials, Twitch adds "CORS Headers" to block the request

    Consider also CORS headers to the token fetching endpoints for App Access generation as well?

  4. Please provide an API that provides

    • what program is being watched
    • What season/episode it is
    • Episode/program title
    • Cast information
    • When started
    • Link to the program on amazon (it's ASIN/whatever)

    Information should be provide by broadcaster_id filter as a API
    Sent out as a webhook (watchparty started, watchparty ended)
    Provided as a PubSub event (started/ended/progress events?)

    PubSub and webhook should also provide information about a Watch party about to start

    The watch party player does a countdown to show start, so that should be replicatable.

    People whom are not amazon prime members, or do not have that program available to them…

  5. Hello, there are unfortunately always VODs where no category is listed, when I create a clip there, the problem is that the clip does not appear in any category, that is very annoying for me as a streamer. That's why I ask you to vote for this idea, so that Twitch has a possibility to change the Twitch category after the clip is created.

    For example, if a wrong category is set, there must be a possibility to change it later.

    example bug clip list: https://dashboard.twitch.tv/u/terminatorsaw2k/content/clips

  6. Please extend the error message of the start commercial API to be more useful

    Current response is

    { error: 'Bad Request',
    status: 400,
    message: 'channel for id "SOMEID" has recently ran a commercial' }

    It should return the retry_after remaining value

  7. The Get Videos API presents the duration as a string, example: "3h8m33s"

    Please add an additional key of "duration_seconds" of the time of the video in seconds.

  8. As it stands currently today, whether you are building a large scale bot to connect to multiple channels, that is always on (think Streamlabs, StreamElements, etc), or a small bot specific for your channel, or perhaps somewhere in between, the only supported way to connect is via the channel name, which is tied directly to the Twitch username.

    The problem that is faced is when one of those connected channel's broadcaster decide to change their username, thus changing the channel name as well, since now what the bot is listening for data on is non-existent. The way this is managed…

  9. Old Twitch v5 API has an endpoint called "Get Top Clips" (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/clips#get-top-clips)

    I think the new API should also include this endpoint because the current way of getting the top clips is not exactly the most user friendly one. Currently if you want to get top clips, you need to get all clips using the "Get Clips" endpoint and then sort them out manually on our side. This works if you know exactly what you want. For example if you want top clips for a game you can use the game parameter.

    Unfortunately this isn't the most optimal…

  10. Currently, supporting small streamers is costly, requiring pagination through large streamers. Grant Streams api functionality already present in internal gql api:

    options: {..., sort: VIEWER_COUNT_ASC,…}

  11. Hi,

    I'm a game developer/publisher and I would really like to be able to get a notification (email and/or in-browser) when someone plays one of my game(s)!

    Currently it's possible to follow a game but you don't get any notification when someone streams it.

    If possible, I would like this implemented directly from the web GUI.

    NB : I would also love this feature as a regular user, there are several niche games I would really like to get notified when someone streams them…

  12. In the case of a trivia extension, where questions appear periodically and the viewer will answer them live and then wait for the next one, the viewer will likely switch back to chat between questions. It would be nice if there were a way to let the viewer know that the extension has a new unanswered trivia question available.

    This could be as simple as a red dot badge on the extension icon.

    Optionally a viewer could opt-in to notifications first.

    Optionally have the ability to force focus on the extension. Would be useful for time-sensitive things.

  13. The Get Clips API should include information of all deleted clips matching the current clips request too when used with a proposed deleted=true parameter. Limited to only the broadcaster themselves and maybe behind some appropriate scope too.

    Goal: detecting malicious, weird and creepy clipping behavior from people making clips, downloading them, and instantly deleting them which is a very common pattern that's currently almost impossible to detect for streamers.

    Sometimes streamers will accidentally show something they didn't mean to for a second, or say something that can be taken out of context, and some people are just weird and clip…

  15. Currently, if you launch an extension with a streamer whitelist, there is no way to remove this whitelist once the extension is live.

    I would like to suggest being able to remove (And only remove not add) the streamer whitelist once the extension is live. This will enable doing 'beta-releases', which is a very common rollout practice and has a lot of benefits for the developer.

    In this way a developer can release an extension to a set group of streamers who want to participate in the beta test.

    Once the developer has determined that things look good and it…

  16. Provide an endpoint where the authenticated user can retrieve all channels where they are granted the VIP role.

    Since Eventsub doesn't return userstate responses like IRC does, we aren't informed of vip status on channel.chat.message subscribe, message events, or helix send responses. We can manually check VIP status by referencing if we have the VIP badge after sending a message; however it would be nice to fetch all VIP channels from a helix endpoint, much like '/moderation/channels'.

    Use case for this would be chatbots which scale permissions based on VIP/mod status.

  17. On the Unity Getting Started (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/game-engine-plugins/unity-guide/) page, under Subscribe to Events, the examples might be a bit inaccurate. Here is the code for Channel Point Rewards:

    GameTask<EventStream<CustomRewardEvent>> CustomRewardEvents;

    start()
    {
    CustomRewardEvents = SubscribeToCustomRewardEvents();
    }

    update()
    {
    var CurRewardEvent;
    CustomRewardEvents.TryGetNextEvent(out CurRewardEvent);
    if(CurRewardEvent != null)
    {
    //Do something
    Debug.Log("{CurRewardEvent.RedeemerName} has brought {CurRewardEvent.CustomRewardTitle} for {CurRewardEvent.CustomRewardCost}!");
    }
    }

    Issues:
    - void Start(), void Update().
    - SubscribeToCustomRewardEvents() is a member of 'Twitch.API'. So it should be 'Twitch.API.SubscribeToCustomRewardEvents()'.
    - 'var' variables are implicitely typed, so the line 'var CurRewardEvent;' throws an erorr. 'CustomRewardEvent CurRewardEvent;' would work.
    - CustomRewardEvents task doesn't have TrgGetNextEvent() or WaitForEvent()…

  18. Twitch Dashboard allows the broadcaster to configure a notification for an upcoming ad, up to 20 minutes in advance, and allow for a snooze.

    If the broadcaster has enabled this feature, I'd like for Twitch to send a channel.ad_break.upcoming event over EventSub, so I can trigger actions off of that.

  19. The helix send chat message endpoint ought to:

    • Support replying to another message id
    • Include the new message's id in the response object

    The new id is relevant for tracking (thread) replies to messages created by the local user. In addition the message id can be relevant for other endpoints like delete message.

    If id cannot be included in the response object, at least allow us to specify client-nonce tag so it is easier to identify the corresponding message id (when subscribed to chat messages in the channel)

  20. Alerts and with it "Celebrations" were introduced.
    https://blog.twitch.tv/de-de/2023/05/17/celebrate-your-community-your-way-with-twitch-s-new-alerts/

    Therefore I was wondering if those Celebrations (or Alerts) will be made triggerable by some official Endpoint.
    Something like a scope to request being able to trigger them like channel:manage:celebrations, and being able to trigger them with normal auth and descriptive body.

    {
    type:"rain",
    area:"full",
    intensity:1,
    length:5
    }

    Just an example from my part.
