I’ve been trying to get this to work for a couple of days now. I want to get ALL the live streams for a specific game so I’m making a chain of requests and telling to stop if there’s less than 100. But with this issue it will just randomly stop, sometimes even on the first page. I don’t get it.

Whats the actual request you are making?

https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?game_id=32982&first=100 If I make the above request right now it returns (randomly) either 98 or 99 results. Even though there’s more than 100 people streaming GTA V right now. Weirdly If I do the exact same but for VALORANT it returns 100 pretty consistently h…

Seeing similar. Not sure if bug or something else. Pagination with streams has a lot of fun issues. best bet is to potentially paginate till you get no more cursor.

I tried that. But then it will keep going forever because there’s always a cursor, even on the last page. My only conclusion is that the first parameter is broken because anything you put, it might return somewhere between 1-4 less than that. I just changed it to &first=80 and it returned 79.

Stopping when the results is less than the first param is an unreliable way to paginate even if this was working perfectly. The reason is, if the total number of streams is a multiple of your first param the final page would have a results equal to first, and because it still has a cursor (Get Stre…

I am also getting a different number of items on each page when using the /clips endpoint. These requests return 61, 52, 45 results respectively, in spite of the first=100 parameter. https://api.twitch.tv/helix/clips?broadcaster_id=423486275&first=100&started_at=2020-02-28T18:24:27Z&ended_at=2020-…
