Just wondering with the creation of the Twitch affiliate program if there were any plans on creating a flag to see if an account is an affiliate? Similar to how there is a flag on the /channel and /channels endpoint to see if an account was a partner or not.
I asked this question 26 days ago and it was said yes, but sadly no movement since then.
Well dang my apologies about that one then. Weâll give it time I guess.
broadcaster_type
on https://api.twitch.tv/v5/channels/:channelid
What are the possible values for this? I can see âaffiliateâ in the documentation but nothing about the others?
affiliate
, partner
or a blank string.
How come this field isnât further used to indicate staff
, since /kraken/channels/:id has no type field.
Because âstaffâ is a separate thing to the partnership/affiliate program. Itâs possible for staff to also be a Twitch partner/affiliate.
If you need to see if a user is staff then there is the type
field from https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/<user ID>
