I’m using the new Twitch API, but I really need the ability to programmatically follow a user as well as check if user a is subscribed to user b. Since this feature is pretty important to our application, it’s looking like I’ll need to switch to the v5 API for the time being. This leads me to my q…

Upon trying it out, it seems like you can use scopes from either API and call to both the new and v5 endpoints.

@kieraneglin I’m in a very similar boat right now. My main concern is whether all the features of V5 are going to be integrated into the new Twitch API?

Thanks. I figured that to be the case but you never know. It definitely creates a weird divide in our code for the time being but I guess its only for a year :stuck_out_tongue:

Is there a more in-depth roadmap for the new API?
