Get channel by channel id

API
1

Hello,

I am trying to get channel by id as documented here: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/channels/#get-channel-by-id

When I execute the following: https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/42776357?client_id=

I get the following response: {“error”:“Not Found”,“status”:404,“message”:“Channel ‘42776357’ does not exist”}

I got the channel ID from a generic streams query: https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?client_id=

What am I doing wrong? Is that not a valid channel ID?

You’re not specifying v5 as the API version. The default version of the API is v3 until next year, which still references by name.
