Do we need to use the API key to check if a streamer is live?

I had used https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/user before and checked if channel[“stream”] was null to determine if a streamer was live or not, but that no longer seems to be working. Is there a new way to do this? Do I need an API key now? Thanks for any help.

That’s still how you check if the user is live. You have to pass in a Client-ID though. I’m on mobile at TwitchCon and can’t provide the link directly. If you search, you can find the blog post that shows how to do this.

This one

Thank you a lot :slight_smile:
