  2. While it works on Android, it is still impossible to use iframe embeds on web-based mobile iOS apps. The reason being that iOS' WKWebView expects <schema>://<host> in the CORS headers returned by Twitch. Twitch uses the parent parameter to generate those headers. Unfortunately, iOS prevents the use of http://, https:// and file:// as schemas and forces us to use a custom schema like ionic://localhost (or anything else) for accessing local files.

    The request is to add the ability for twitch embeds to return a CORS header that can match a custom scheme like ionic://localhost.

  4. "The v5 endpoint searched for the channel title and category. Use “Search Channels” to match channel name or title." on https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/migration is wrong because the new API does not matches the title! There is no replacement for title searching!

  5. Why is the share always 80% streamer and 20% developer? Would be way better if the developers could decide their extension percentage.

    If I sell an cosmetic item in my game ( on my website) for 5$ I get like 4.8$
    If I want to sell the same item on twitch I would need to sell it for 24$ to get 4.8$

    So as developer I have these options:

    • Don't use Bits -> Streamer receives 0$
    • Link to our website -> Streamer receives 0$
    • Make prices way to expensive -> nobody buys -> Streamer receives 0$

    So if you make…

  6. I am currently developing a native Android application for Twitch and want to make use of the OAuth2.0 API. Since the Twitch Authorization Server doesn't seem to support the PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange), i will have to put my client secret into my native application, which isn't secure at all, because the app can easily be decompiled.

    This is a requirement for all native apps, as stated by the IETF in RFC 7636 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7636).

    I hope to see this implemented soon, because this poses a huge security risk for all native apps and their developers.

  8. In Twitch v5, the Get User Subscription endpoint contained a created_at and a streak for the current user subscription for a broadcaster.

    Helix, lacks this functionality, and thus it is impossible to determine how long someone has been subscribed for, and also impossible to determine if they've renewed their subscription.

    These fields are imperative to some applications, especially ones that want to externally reward members monthly for each month they've subscribed. Please return these fields to the endpoint!

  9. Add a flag, which is true, when a subscription is made through Prime Gaming. Distinguishing between a regular sub and a Prime sub allows us to react differently on these cases, like also being able to promote the free Prime Gaming sub.

  10. Hey, not sure if this has been posted as a uservoice already, I took a quick glance using the above title as a query and couldnt find anything about it.

    It would be nice with the new Custom Tags feature that we would be able to get a list of streams with x tag(s) for 3rd party use. Id envision this to either be its own endpoint, or potentially added to the query property of the "Get Streams" endpoint, like Kraken used to do with title searching (Which also would be nice to have back in Helix)

  11. In a similar fashion as

    https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310213-developers/suggestions/39228784-extend-clips-api-to-provide-the-mp4-url-so-editors

    The Videos API should be extended to provide the (original) VOD to authenticated users where that user is an Editor or better of the channel.

    As in unmuted.

    For the purpose of backing up/taking a copy of the Twitch stream and/or taking that content (that the streamer owns) for use on other platforms.

    Editors can already do this via the Video Dashboard, so the API should support this also

  12. The Helix /moderation/moderators endpoint currently requires an OAuth token from the broadcaster. Given you can just do /mods in any chat (not requiring authorization from the broadcaster), what is the point of requiring the authorization here?

  13. With the removal of the Follow Create endpoint.

    A "non moderation bot" can no longer be automatically added to a channel.
    The owner of the bot would have to "login" to the account and manually follow the channel(s) the bot joins.

    A "non moderation" bot doesn't run moderation commands, so giving it "mod" wouldn't make sense. (Which would bypass the follow requirement)

    Please provide a way to "authorise adding a bot to a channel" that will auto follow the bot to the channel. For this purpose

    This could be similar to how Discord does bots, where to add a bot…

  15. We third party dev's often build tools that assist with moderation actions/services for broadcasters.

    We tell Moderators to enable 2FA, but we have no way to check it.

    It would be useful to block Logins to our tool if 2FA is not enabled. But 2FA data is not surfaced in the API and there's no way to require a User to be 2FA during the login/oAuth loop.

    I'd like to see the users endpoint(s) provide 2FA status.
    I expect this to be behind the user read or openID scopes.

    openID allows email verified. Why not 2fa status (for example)

    Worth…

  18. Currently, it is easy to tell if a user that sent a message in a streamer’s channel is a subscriber, VIP, or moderator of that channel. However, there is no way to tell if that user is a follower of the channel.

    With the rise of hate raids and malicious messages, I want to ensure that if a streamer is using a chat box overlay, that they have the option to only let messages from followers appear. Malicious users usually don’t follow the channel, and so this will prevent their messages from appearing on stream.

    I do understand that this…

  19. The v5 endpoint contains the follower's account creation date, the new endpoint (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-users-follows) does not.

    Knowing when a follower created their account is very useful to moderators monitoring recent follows to keep an eye on potentially problematic users (new account could mean a previously banned user returning) or to detect mass follows from bots (which often have a similar account creation date). Monitoring recent follows is especially useful in follow-only chat mode.

    While it is possible to get the account creation date from the "Get Users" endpoint (https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-users) and then merge it with the follower data,…

  20. A number of streamers have re signed with Twitch with new Contracts.
    Those new contracts often include a requirement to run adverts

    A request for tooling general occurs from the Streamer to a developer for tools relating to running commericals

    Please provide eventsub topics that provide the following information

    • An advert started, including
      • which user/editor started those ads
      • duration of those ads
      • did it do picture in picture or full screen (if possible and if it's the same for everyone whom saw an ad)
      • how long prerolls are disabled for
    • An advert completed it's duration
    • Adverts are cleared to run…
