Is it possible get a returned list of specific games? You are able to get a list of the top games and search for specific games but I can’t find any API calls that let me get info on say 10 specific games like I can with the streams API. ---

Besides using the streams endpoint with the optional game parameter? Or is it you want a complete list of games on Twitch? In which case, I took care of that by querying the Giant Bomb API for that information. That is what I use in my bot in fact to make sure that folks pick a game that Twitch knows of from a drop down menu. ---

I want to get info on a list of specific games. The games API returns the top games but I would like to be able to do a specific list of games. Something like this. [https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/games?game=World%20of%20Warcraft,League%20of%20Legends,Hearthstone%3A%20Heroes%20of%20Warcraft](https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/games?game=World%20of%20Warcraft,League%20of%20Legends,Hearthstone%3A%20Heroes%20of%20Warcraft) ---

I think this was brought up before, this may be a limitation of how Twitch caches data as to why a request only supports one game. However, Twitch Development has to speak to that. I have to ask though, are you essentially data mining Twitch? I have read a few posts and I get that feeling? Cheers! ---

No, but if I was I could essentially just call games/top about 20 times to get the complete list of games from Twitch. I’m interested in getting the viewer count for a specific list of games. I would prefer to do this in one call versus several calls to games/top before I get all the games I want. ---
