Hello,
I’m working on a website and part of that project is to gathers statistics on users. The thing is as I do my api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/:username for currently ~50 users it takes me ~40seconds, this is using file_get_contents from php.
I know there is https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?channel= that could greatly increase the speed, if only it worked on offline streams. So this is kind of a request/question. Is there a way to get multiple users channel information at the same time like with the streams?channel=user1,user2,user3 (when they’re offline) and if not would there be a possibility for the future to see something like this be implemented?
Alternatively, do you have any better idea on how I could go about this?
What I do is populate an array with all my users then start calling api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/:username on every single user and populate my db.
