Hi! From yesterday to today, the following API call stopped working unexpectedly: `curl -H GET 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/videos?user_login=someuser&game_id=902050890' -H 'Authorization: Bearer token' -H 'Client-Id: client_id'` Now it will return all videos, and it does not filter the videos by the `user_login`. Is this change expected? Thanks in advance ---

it never did support a `user_login` parameter > **[Reference](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#get-videos)** > > Twitch Developer tools and services to integrate Twitch into your development or create interactive experience on twitch.tv. Helix _for the most part_ (except streams/users) is user ID pretty uniformly so never supported a `user_login` parameter. ---

Oh my bad sorry, I thought it was working but I think I am mistaken! Is there a way to filter the videos by user login? ---

Sure, get the username Then call get users to convert the username to an ID - [Reference | Twitch Developers](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#get-users) Then use the user ID on the get videos endpoint ---

Thanks Barry! The videos endpoints however does not accept both game\_id and user\_id, and the response does not contain the game\_id. Is there a way to filter for both game\_id and user\_id at the same time? ---

I see, thanks. If I request by game\_id, it seems that the pagination is also not working correctly? > The cursor used to get the next page of results. The **Pagination** object in the response contains the cursor’s value. [Read More](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/guide#pagination) Specify this parameter only if you specify the _user\_id_ query parameter. The docs also claim that 500 videos can be returned, but that doesn’t seem to be the case? > A category or game ID. The response contains a maximum of 500 videos that show this content. ---

The docs appear to be incorrect as you can paginate when using a `game_id` So you can get up to 500 videos after loading all pages. ---
