Yes use the Get Videos API which will return the `created_at` [https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-videos](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-videos)

Hello everyone, sorry if my English could be a bit lame. I am stepping up to the same question, asking for further help, because I am not a developer, and I don’t know how to integrate scripts.  
I am interested in going back to the day and time of a broadcast (and also clips) of Twitch, having only the number of the vod (eg. 972822254, or clip PunchyOddFiddleheadsTinyFace-u37ReDF8j-kSsxDg), how can I do? Thanks for your attention!

Get Clips, may return the `video_id` then use the video ID with Get Videos as already discussed

As I wrote in the first post, I am not a developer.  
I already knew the link you put, but I don’t understand how to make it working.

Then first you need to pick a programming lanaguage to learn.  
Learn the basics of that language  
Then learn how to make cURL requests in that language (or find and use a Twitch Library for that langauge)  
Then you can implement the API calls in that language.

Well first you have to pick a language.

There are a number of sites online that deal with teaching programming language.

Sites like this include [https://www.codecademy.com/](https://www.codecademy.com/)
