If I wanted to check the online status of say 5 broadcasters at once, is there a way to do this or do I have to do 5 calls?

If so what end point supports this?

I want to check if they are currently streaming.

The [/streams](https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/v2_resources/streams.md#get-streams) endpoint can be used for that if you specify the `channel` parameter, for example to check whether `channel1` or `channel2` are online: `https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?offset=0&limit=100&channel=channel1,channel2`

You’ll get an array with stream objects for the channels you specified that are currently live, so you’ll have to compare what you requested to what you get if you also want to know which ones are offline.
