Is there an endpoint to check a channel’s raid settings? It seems like the chat settings endpoint doesn’t show any of the new raid restrictions (or if a channel is able to be raided into at all). The only thing I can think of is to ‘pre’ raid a channel and wait for a 400 error and take note of it-- I’d rather not do that.

The API here functions _the same_ as the Twitch website.  
So you can’t see you can’t raid a channel till you try to raid.

So first party would need to support it before third party would

You need a first party user voice to request that function added to raiding on the main platform [https://twitch.uservoice.com/](https://twitch.uservoice.com/)  
Then a third party/api uservoice to request an API for it [https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310213-developers](https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310213-developers)

Personally I doubt we’d get either as it would make it _easier_ for hate raiders to avoid targets if they can check the target channel first. _shrug_
