hi, i just saw the maj of API twitch. So now we need ID client in url but i’ve got a problem to get viewers of one channel.

$.getJSON(‘[https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?client\_id=code&channel=streamer](https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?client_id=code&channel=streamer)’, function(channel) {

channel[“streams”][“viewers”];

}

Before the maj, i’ve got no problem to get viewers but now it doesn’t work… (undefined viewers)

Thanks !

In PHP i can show the Viewers with that Code:

> $url = “[https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/streamer?client\_id=$client\_id](https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/streamer?client_id=$client_id)”;

> $result = file\_get\_contents($url);  
> $result = json\_decode($result, true);

> $result[“stream”][“viewers”]

May it help…

If you are only querying a single channel you want to use `https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/CHANNELNAME?client_id=code` instead and your code would work.

/streams by itself will return an array of stream objects so you would need to access them index (`channel["streams"][0..n]["viewers"]`) or iterate over the streams array in the result.
