Hello,  
I’m trying to use the streams endpoint to get multiple stream information using only one request. According to documentation I can specify up to 100 ids in my request.  
I’m using python with requests lib:

> url = ‘[https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams)’  
> headers = {‘Client-ID’: client\_id’, ‘Authorization’:'Bearer '+access\_token}  
> payload = {‘user\_id’:‘user1’,‘user\_id’:‘user2’…}  
> r = requests.get(url,params=payload, headers=headers)

Using the above code the endpoint returns only one result, corresponding to the last user\_id specified in payload param, During my testing I made sure to request user ids of live streams

What’s the correct syntax to get mutliple results ?

Thank You

The correct URL construction is

```
https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_id=26610234&user_id=567803342

```

You might have to use _not params_ and string concantenate the URL instead

```
payload = {‘user_id’:‘user1’,‘user_id’:‘user2’…}

```

Creates and object of only on entry

```
payload = {‘user_id’:[‘user1’,‘user2']}

```

Make work but I’d not to familair with Python.

So building the URL manually instead of using `params` might be the way to go

Hi BarryCarlyon

Using payload = {‘user\_id’:[‘user1’,‘user2’]} works !

Thank you
