As we know, a response from [api.twitch.tv/kraken/](http://api.twitch.tv/kraken/) contains `identified` field to check if your client-id is valid. So, when I make such request with a valid client-id, I get `identified: true`. But with invalid client-id I get this: `{"error":"Bad Request","status":400,"message":"No client id specified"}` however it should be `identified: false` So… is it a bug? ---

No, this isn’t a bug. We added identified as a way to test before we required a Client-ID. Now that we require a Client-ID, the proper response is a 400 and no body returned. ---
