Best way to calculate stream viewers average

Hi everyone. I have an app that fetches data, minute to minute, from Twitch, YouTube and Facebook streams and it calculates stream viewers average of each stream and draws minute a minute graphics. Many times, in Twitch, when you use “Get Streams” endpoint, “viewer_count” response field doesn’t change during several minutes (due to caching?). However, when you’re watching a stream you can see how this data is refreshed each 20-25 seconds (so it doesn’t seem caching works in the same way here )…

Your post is basically identical word for word to this linked post

To improve accuracy, does it exist alternative strategies?. Does PubSub have any subject matter to fetch actual time “viewer_count”?

The only documented method to get the viewer count is to poll the “Get Streams” API
