Streams not working in v5

[DevUser]

I’m not able to get any streams info to return in the V5 API. Is this still working? It always returns 0 items for me.

Works fine for me

What request are you making?

[DevUser]

I’m trying to get the live streams migrating from V3 to V5.
streams?limit=100&channel=user1,user2,user3

Reference

The URL is:

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/channelID

You cannot load multiple streams by ID/Username at once with v5

It’s not possible at all or I need to use a different resource? I really liked this ability.

This didn’t work on v3 either iirc

You can use the New API however:

Reference

https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=auser&user_login=another&user_login=athird

Ok, I’m trying to resurrect an app I made with V3 to V5 first before going to the new API since it’s so different.

It worked perfect in V3.

I rechecked the docs: (or was stabbed to)

It’s

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/?channel=43691,103825127

You need to be using the users TwitchID not username

Everything on v5 is userID rather than username

Thank you for all the help!
