Will there ever be a way to get all users that are currently in the channel? Like chatters but official?
@SeeingBlue Messaged you directly about this.
@Hoffs Already covered in previous answers. Short answer: nothing to announce right now. 
Are there any plans to move over to ids for games as well?
At the moment game names change from time to time, making some stored game names invalid. I was going to move over to using the game id, but thereās currently no way to query which game a game-id belongs toā¦
Iād also be interested in the answer to @SeeingBlueās question about receiving ids on join in IRC. Also related, receiving the room-id in the ROOMSTATE message would be great, as mentioned earlier in the thread.

Please add an ā_idā property to the āchannelā property of the video response object.
We heard you loud and clear, query by login is here: https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users?login=dallas&api_version=5
Before you ask, yes, weāre looking into making a bulk version. 
Please be patient. Itās a holiday week in the US, so weāre all a little scarce. As always, Iāll keep you posted as we add these things.
CC: @3ventic @freaktechnik @moocat @george @Larklen @SeeingBlue @Wolfspirit and more Iām sure I missed.
@moocat I donāt think so since this is all synced with GiantBomb. Iāll have to check on that.
@jwheare There actually wasnāt an answer. Just information gathering privately to not gum up the thread. Iāll let everyone know the resolution as we come to it.
@evans.co Noted. Thanks for pointing that out!

Will this script below still work on v5 of the API
@LawlyPopzz You need to speak with the developer of that particular code to ensure theyāre updated. You can point them to this post or the blog.
I could update it if it needs to be iām just not sure if it ill need to or not! and thanks for the email about the change
Thank you and no rush. We got time. Any idea what the bulk limit would be? 50? 100?
Edit: Also what other useful information can we add to this endpoint? Can we also add a query to compare a specific channel and get follower and subscriber data too? I might be asking too much, but you never know! I just want to avoid querying the API twice when I can.
Why is the id a string in the response while itās an integer in all other parts of the API?
i.e. the response for https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users?login=dallas&api_version=5 is:
{
"_total": 1,
"users": [
{
"display_name": "dallas",
"_id": "44322889",
"name": "dallas",
...
}
]
}
but for https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/44322889?api_version=5 itās:
{
...
"language": "en",
"_id": 44322889,
"name": "dallas",
...
}
Itās just a little thing but Iād like to see this being consistent.
@SeeingBlue Probably similar to other endpoints, which is 100 I think?
@Rodney Good catch! I think this should always be a string (hence why the newer endpoint has a string). Iāll double check.
Will this endpoint be changing at all?
https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/authentication.md
@LawlyPopzz Nothing in the auth flows relies on a username, so there is no planned change.
thank you, thats much better then using the search
Iāve been rewriting stuff for v5 and this has come up as an issue. Whatās the word on this? Will it change to return a user-id, or remain returning a username?
This topic is now a banner. It will appear at the top of every page until it is dismissed by the user.
This topic is no longer a banner. It will no longer appear at the top of every page.
Iāve spent nearly a month working to get my software working with the current APIā¦I wish there had been mention of this somewhere on the main page (dev.twitch.tv) or in the docs. 
This is gonna suck.
Donāt worry jpcguy89 - you have until Feb 2018 to migrate over because v3 will be available until then.
