API shows streamer is offline but he is not! [Solved]

[Ace]

I get JSON from https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/m0e_tv. I look for field “stream”. When streamer is offline, it shows null. When streamer is streaming, it shows something else. But right at this moment, 6:09 am chicago time 06/22/2016, stream is null, even though he is online. Why? Is something wrong? I have tried looking up for other streamers. It shows correct value for “stream” but not for m0e_tv. Can someone help me?

Some topics I think you should look at:

Streamer offline according to API when actually streaming

Hello, I have a website that allows the user to view streams with the option to change channels when there are multiple streamers online. This is obviously nothing new. But there’s something strange with a particular channel. To check on which channels are online or offline, I make use of the Twitch API (https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?channel=). I have multiple channels listed in there to get it all in one request. However, one particular channel is always listed as offline. Funny thing …

Api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/ endpoint unstable

Hi, i come forward with this issue as i am building an app using the twitch api in certain intervals. Kraken Streams Endpoint returns null if offline but as it seems this is happening also when the stream is online/live. i saw this issue also on twitch.tv with an offline overlay poping up and the stream going offline but after refresh the stream was still online. is this a known issue or am i experiencing any rate limits?

It’s a case sensitive issue with streams/:channel endpoint. Just use temporarily the display_name instead of channelname to access his api data.

See here Api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/ endpoint unstable

I registered for the first time to complain about this issue. After complaining, I browsed other topics and I found that 2nd link you provided. In that post, DallasNChains says this, “Another quick update here. We’ve added some sampling code to this endpoint and are collecting data now. Once I’m back from E3 and get to delve into the data, I will be having discussions with the team that own this API to see how we can fix the problem. As always, I’ll keep you posted. ”.
After reading that, I tried to delete my post but I couldn’t. Sorry
