Hey!  
I am using `GET https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams` with `user_login` filter. I am able to find some streams, but there are multiple that this endpoint does not return event tho I am sure that stream is online. For example [https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user\_login=y5show](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=y5show) does not return stream data, is currently online.

Then `y5show` may need to contact Twitch support.

People not appearing in the API/directories is not something this forum can help with

I did check twitch stream directory from web and this stream is not on there as well. I guess this is not API bug. But how is that possible? Streamer said that he did not hide channel or anything.
