Twitch Helix API - Following List Live/Offline

[Ghostir]

I’m currently trying to get a users current following list, which includes Live/Offline.

Currently I’m making a call to the ‘https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams/followed’ endpoint, which returns only Live channels. (I’ve also tried the endpoint ‘https://api.twitch.tv/helix/channels/followed’ and getting the same results)

I’d like to know if there is a parameter I can pass that would allow the return to contain Offline channels as well?

I’m aware of the endpoint ‘https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows’ but this endpoint is being deprecated and is not the correct solution.

This endpoint should return channels you follow regardless of live status.

I have checked and this works as expected for me

twitch api get 'channels/followed?user_id=15185913'
{
  "data": [
    {
      "broadcaster_id": "26991613",
      "broadcaster_login": "magic",
      "broadcaster_name": "Magic",
      "followed_at": "2023-02-19T15:38:42Z"
    },
    {
      "broadcaster_id": "57047445",
      "broadcaster_login": "xemdo",
      "broadcaster_name": "Xemdo",
      "followed_at": "2023-02-17T22:19:07Z"
    },
    {
      "broadcaster_id": "627510124",
      "broadcaster_login": "watchmeforever",
      "broadcaster_name": "watchmeforever",
      "followed_at": "2023-02-01T23:39:45Z"
    },

      "followed_at": "2023-01-05T23:19:16Z"
    },
SNIP

Xemdo is not currently live

You are absolutely right, just needed someone to confirm and cause me to search a bit deeper.

It was a setting on my end that falls back to the streamer/followed if there is no cursor.

Thank you for your clarification.
