Concerning chatters in the IRC,

When you reach \> 1000 chatters, it only returns the mods/admins/staff, which is unfortunate.

Is there a way to get all the logged in viewers (chatters) from the Twitch API?

I see an old tmi.twitch link which does the job although I prefer the official v5 API because there’s no telling when that old method will be removed

That old tmi.twitch link is the only way.
