Hello, Is there any way to access events with the twitch API? I found this while searching: [https://api.twitch.tv/v5/channels/{stream\_id}/events](https://api.twitch.tv/v5/channels/%7Bstream_id%7D/events) but apparently it’s not documented. Can I still use it anyway?

Any API URL that is not documented basically means,

- it can break or change at any time and when/if it does you can’t really complain about it

With the exclusion of graphQL which you _just_ shouldn’t be using
