Above is how to get info about user1.

On [twitch api](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-streams) it says **Returns streams broadcast by one or more specified user login names. You can specify up to 100 names** , but there are not examples provided.

I tried below, but nothing works.:

- [https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user\_login=user1,user2](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=user1,user2)
- [https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user\_login=user1|user2](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=user1%7Cuser2)
- [https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user\_login=user1&user\_login=user2](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=user1&user_login=user2)
- [https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user\_login=user1](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=user1) user2

Since you are requesting the _streams_ endpoint, the channels you’re checking have to be currently live.

The 3rd url you attempted is the correct answer, just ensure that everyone listed is live or you’ll get a blank response in place of a real result.

The following code (in jQuery) works just fine for me.

```
var clientId = "your-client-id";

$.ajax({
  url: "https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=EatMyDiction1&user_login=manvsgame",
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
   "Client-ID": clientId
  }
});
```

So if I check for multiple streamers all have to be live?

I can’t check for (example) 5 streams to see which are live? I have to make request for each stream separately?

No you do not need to request each stream separately.

You can still do

```
https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams
?user_login=streamer1
&user_login=streamer2
&user_login=streamer3
&user_login=streamer4

```

However if streamer2 is offline, and the rest are online, you will get 3 objects.

```
// This is not the exact response
[
  {
    "name": "streamer1"
  },
  {
    "name": "streamer3"
  },
  {
    "name": "streamer4"
  },
]

```

So you need to loop through the results to see who is online and who isn’t.
