Channel Aliases List?

Chat and IRC
1

Is there’s a list of channel aliases anywhere? What I mean is if I attempt to access https://www.twitch.tv/gdq I’ll get an HTTP 302 to https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick. I’ve already found sgdq -> gamesdonequick and esa -> esamarathon but I’m wondering if there are any others.

I’m asking because I allow users to enter a channel name to join a chat, I then use /api/helix/users?login=<user input> to get the channel id to subscribe to channel events and the issues is that if I specify gdq as a login I’ll get back a user id that is not the same as gamesdonequick and is impossible to actually get to via the website.

This is all fine, I just would like to be able to handle all of these aliases up front or know if there’s an endpoint that will handle this for me.

No

It’s an undocumented and an incredibly rare thing.

fair, still would be easier if the users endpoint just hid it better instead of requiring everyone to work around it, but whatever.
