Hello,  
I have a encountered a strange behavior when trying to fetch clips for a specific user.

If i make a request to:  
[https://api.twitch.tv/helix/clips?broadcaster\_id=94757023&first=5](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/clips?broadcaster_id=94757023&first=5)  
With Client-ID and Authorization headers.  
This works good, as intended. I get a 200 response with 5 items.

But if i change “first” to “3”, 20", “100” (as i read in DOCs is max amount). I will get a 500 Internal Server Error.

This also happens for other broadcaster\_id`s.

I have no idea whats happening. Any ideas? 😃
