I’m getting a list of top streams and this user appeared. https://www.twitch.tv/풍월량 The link doesn’t appear accessible with these characters. The user Id is 36348725808. Is this a bug with Twitch or do I have to encode these links a certain way?

You have used the Display Name instead of the logic name. The Helix streams API likes to return the “Display Name” instead of the login name, so you’ll need to parse the thumbnail URL, for the URL safe name, or lookup the user against the Users API Been noted a few times [image] P…

Ok, is there plans to add the login name to the new API? Seems kind of funny to have to parse an URL for this info.

[image] Please add "url" or "login" to the stream for "get streams" NEW API Hopefully, when don’t know, when Helix first “broke” and started sending the “wrong” username we reported it, and it’s not been fixed yet. ^^
