Hello,
i had a site which user can share the streaming link from twitch, and i want the API give me the status of that link “online” or “offline”. Our website will turn-on or turn-off that link automaticlly .
Sorry, my english is not good, hope u understand.
Could you please give us the solution?
This can be accomplished using a simple jquery ajax GET request to: https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/CHANNEL_NAME.
It will return a stream object if the channel is live.

Hi Teak,
by doing a single request against the following url I can get a lot of data of all the channels that I am following:
https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/fuecisla1/follows/channels?limit=100&client_id=’ + clientId;
However the API does not return in the json if the channel is broadcasting live or not. Is there any way to request that data. I would really like to avoid making as many http requests as channels I follow.
Any ideas? I only seem to find ways to ask channel by channel…
Cheers,
You can only do it channel by channel.
The streams end point can only return one channels information.
As a work around, you can follow all the channels you want info on and then call follows API ( https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/v3/users#get-streamsfollowed ) with the stream_type=live flag instead.
