The “get streams metadata” returns user_name that is “login_name” corresponding to the user_id, not the “Display name” which is the case for “get streams” API.
So, First thing. If I want to get the channel url of my “followed channels” and display the current thumbnail with the ‘new API’, I have to use 3 APIs?
Use “get users follows”:
get-users-follows
to get the user id. Use “get streams”
get-streams
for the thumbnails and stream title and stuff, and use “get users”
get-users
for login name that’ll be used for making twitch.com/${login name}?
Second thing. There is no ‘front end url’ that works with user id, the integer values?
Third thing. Can I expect support for any of adding ‘login name’ to “follows API” or “streams API”, or the ‘front end url’ that works with user id (I guess this is ‘site suggestion’?) for the complete helix/new API? If so, when?
Thank you in advance!
