Seeing which mod did what is really useful for moderators and they can see all this info in the browser already so it's in no way secret or protected.

It should be officially available to moderators of a channel via the API so it can be used in third party mod tools, mod bots and chat clients which tens of thousands of moderators on twitch rely on (and they all already use the undocumented one anyway).

needed clip info:

* duration:
like v5

* vod_offset:
like v5, to make timestamped vod links to the point of the clip

* occured_at:
there's created_at but that can be months or years off when the actual content in the clip happened if the clip was made from a VOD or highlight.
occured_at can be calculate while the vod is still alive as vod.created_at + clip_v5.vod_offset but once the VOD is deleted there's no way to get that info anymore.

needed for deduplication, searching for specific clips of an event, recreating from local recordings and much more.

currently the started_at and endeded_at params for the clip API are using created_at, would be nice to also have ones to search by occured_at in addition

created_at is incredibly important for modding tools as bots, spam accounts or alt accounts are very often made in groups but may not be used immediately.

To give a concrete example, a streamer I mod for has recently been harassed and chat botted by someone with thousands of bots, after going into follow mode said person follow botted the channel with 26000 bots to be able to still spam in follow mode. Those bots were all between 1 to 3 months old at the time already, all created in large batches of a couple thousand each in about two hour spans each.

The only way to effectively identify those was by filtering by names, follow dates and `created_at` combined, to avoid hitting innocent random followers during the same times which would be unavoidable without `created_at.

We also regularly get people coming in and being dumb, getting banned and making new accounts right away that are seconds old and easily flagable this way.
A pure `created_today` flag for example would be almost useless to combat any of this.

There are tons of examples of occurrences like that where having `created_at` is essential to keep chats protected, especially with twitch moderation response times usually being days or even weeks (only 6k of those 25k blatantly obvious bots are banned at this point for example despite multiple reports over the last 5 weeks).

Also note that the creation date is currently still available via official mod tools so in no way secret at all, anyone that wants it can get it already even if V5 was gone.
