When will Helix return game_ids in Get Videos request?

dwdawson · March 25, 2020, 9:22am

Currently, the Get Videos endpoint does not return the game_ids for any of a streamer’s videos. This was available in the Kraken version of the API and has been pointed out as missing in Helix several times [0] [1]. I checked the developer roadmap [2] and didn’t see anything promising related to this issue.

Is the API dev team working on adding this parameter back? When this question has been asked before, Twitch staff has said they were working on it.

[0]: November 17, Helix API changes from Kraken - data missing
[1]: March 18, Videos and game_id

Helix Videos API does not return game

feature product: api ticketed

**Brief description** The /helix/videos endpoint does not return any info abo…ut what game(s) was/were played in that video. **Expected behavior** The response JSON should contain at least the first game played in that video, like the old v5 API does. Either as game name, ID, or ideally even both. **Additional context or questions** There does not appear to be a way to get that information at all. So currently, one has to fall back to single-video v5 API calls to get that information.

It’s a thing “chapters” that has been missing for a while.
