Hey everyone, is there any updated link I can use to get the uptime function?  
I have looked on the forum but the link they are providing is old and “[https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/CHANNEL\_NAME](https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/CHANNEL_NAME)” doesn’t provide any uptime key.

P.S. I am working with python27.

Using the [streams endpoint](https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/v3_resources/streams.md#get-streamschannel), the “created\_at” key is when the stream went live. You can use that to figure out how long the stream has been live.
