Channel redirects broken with V5

API
1

When trying to load the channel info of a channel that is redirected (the example I know of is xanbot, but there are many more I assume), the API redirects to the username instead of the ID.

So given a request of https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/29201680 on v5 will redirect to https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/xangold which was perfectly fine on v3 but broken on v5.

I would expect it to redirect to https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/39141793 instead.

Thanks for the report!

Looks like there’s some endless redirection going on at the moment as well.
