Finding mod status

[fearless]

I’m trying to make a website that interacts with the Twitch API, and I need to determine if a user is a moderator of a specific channel after they login through twitch, but I cant seem to find anything about determining mod status for a specific channel using the API. Is this a thing that can actually happen through the API or no?

There is an undocumented Kraken endpoint that will be useful to you:

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/:user_id/chat/channels/:channel_id?api_version=5

For example: Alca in ScufJumpn’s channel.

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/7676884/chat/channels/64284181?api_version=5

{
	"_id": "7676884",
	"login": "alca",
	"display_name": "Alca",
	"color": "#177DE3",
	"is_verified_bot": true, // This won't be true for most users.
	"badges": [
		{
			"id": "moderator",
			"version": "1"
		},
		{
			"id": "subscriber",
			"version": "12"
		},
		{
			"id": "bits",
			"version": "1000"
		}
	]
}

Just look for the “moderator” badge.

What is the “is_verified_bot”?

Is that the Partnered Verified Icon?

Have a chat/whisper bot? Let us know!

In the last few years, we have had a lot of users create chat bots that do all sorts of things ranging from moderation to loyalty points. We will attempt to keep bots in the mix while making decisions about how our product should act, especially in terms of rate limits, and preventing malicious actors. We often do not have a full picture of what the developer landscape looks like, and are requesting that you help provide us with that information. If you notice your messages from a bot account n…

I’ve already submitted that about 2 hours ago. I was just wondering if that was the partner badge or if that was something different. Thanks though.

Sorry I wasn’t clear enough in the above post. The verified bot means it has been verified through that process. It is not related to the verified chat badge.
