Inconsistency pagiation cursor results

Or if you are looking at specific streamers, use Webhooks instead!

Exactly!

Due to the way pagination works in Helix your method will result in missing many streamers, and results with repeated duplicates, making it inefficient and inaccurate.

Helix is not designed for pagination all the way through the streams endpoint, and as such accuracy of results significantly diminishes after the first 5-10% if you’re attempting to get results for every streamer on the platform.

What alternative do you suggest for someone who wants to capture the live data of all the live streamers on Twitch and update that data, let’s say, every minute?

Obviously this system is far from ideal, but with the tools at our disposal I think that’s the best approach. Happy to hear better alternatives though!
