It would be really useful for there to be an endpoint to get a user’s information within a channel - specifically I’m referring to badges (VIP, Moderator, bit badge, maybe even total bits donated). This is useful in cases where you need to look up a user’s information because they are doing something that isn’t done through a standard chat message, like following or raiding.
