So I noticed the new v5 api update and was wondering whether endpoints like ‘http://tmi.twitch.tv/group/user/user/chatters’ will be updated to correspond the user id’s. Because currently it seems you would need to get the chatter list and then use the api to get userid for each chatter. So for example if I were to do something with channel as big as Lirik I would have to call the API additional 20k+ times to get the user id’s.
That TMI endpoint is unsupported as @BarryCarlyon stated. That said, we aren’t updating that API to use IDs instead of usernames. Nothing to announce on a supported version of the API.
