Confused about Twitch APIs

v5 (URLs with kraken in them) has been deprecated and will eventually be turned off in favor of the new API (URLs with helix in them). It’s true that we haven’t discussed in detail what else is going into the new API before v5 is given a shutdown date. In the next few weeks, we are gathering feedback on some of these endpoints in a closed beta and will be communicating more about them afterwards.
