Streams not working in v5

DevUser · 2019-11-12T12:40:58.274Z

I’m not able to get any streams info to return in the V5 API. Is this still working? It always returns 0 items for me.

Works fine for me

What request are you making?

I’m trying to get the live streams migrating from V3 to V5.
streams?limit=100&channel=user1,user2,user3

Twitch Developer tools and services to integrate Twitch into your development or create interactive experience on twitch.tv.

The URL is:

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/channelID

You cannot load multiple streams by ID/Username at once with v5

It’s not possible at all or I need to use a different resource? I really liked this ability.

This didn’t work on v3 either iirc

You can use the New API however:

Ok, I’m trying to resurrect an app I made with V3 to V5 first before going to the new API since it’s so different.

It worked perfect in V3.

I rechecked the docs: (or was stabbed to)

It’s

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/?channel=43691,103825127

You need to be using the users TwitchID not username

Everything on v5 is userID rather than username
