According to the doc, you can search for videos based on games id.

But resulting data doesn’t contain game id.

How do I get associated game\_id for a video?

If you did the look up by `game_id` then you already have it.

If you didn’t then, there currently no way to the get the game(s) that are in a video at time of writing

Yikes, is there any round about ways to get the game type of the video?

It’s crazy that get clips has game\_id in payload but not get video.

It’s not presented in the API, old or new.

Twitch has a thing called “chapters” that is uses on the VOD but ti’s not in any third party API’s

It’s crazy this doesn’t exist. Are there plans to add the game id to the videos endpoint?
