404 Error on /clips/download for clips with auto-generated portrait previews

API
1

There is a consistent 404 Not Found error when requesting download links via the /clips/download endpoint, even for clips that clearly show auto-generated portrait previews in the Twitch Clip Manager.

Endpoint: GET https://api.twitch.tv/helix/clips/download?id=[CLIP_ID]
Status: 404 Not Found
Observation: The portrait version is processed and visible in the Twitch UI, but the API fails to provide a download_url for the portrait type.

Is the /clips/download endpoint restricted only to manually rendered clips, or is it intended to support auto-generated portrait versions as well? If it’s the latter, why does the API return a 404 instead of the existing portrait assets?

The structure of your request is incorrect and missing all three required query string arguments.

  • editor_id
  • broadcaster_id
  • clip_id

Are all required, you declared only an (invalid) id parameter only.
