I’m trying to get information on clips but I already have the clip so I want to use the slug, the part after “[https://clips.twitch.tv/](https://clips.twitch.tv/)” to look for clips so I currently use the line “clip = twitch.get\_clips(clip\_id=[clip\_slug])” and get the error twitchAPI.types.TwitchAPIException: Bad Request. I tried getting clips by broadcaster id and it worked but I can’t figure out why getting clips by clip\_id doesn’t work. I am using python by the way.

I don’t recognise this error.

Sounds like you are using a library and not calling the API yourself?

So is the library using kraken or helix?  
Whats the actual API URL being called?
