3ventic, no, I was simply making an http request to the url I posted in the above reply. I didn’t realize I had to authenticate and use the api . I’ll try that thanks.
To avoid confusion twitch should ALWAYS respond with
{“error”:“Bad Request”,“status”:400,“message”:“No client id specified”}
when hitting it from a browser, instead of sometimes returning the proper information about the channel in json format. I went about a week with it returning it properly (since it randomly returns one or the other), which is what caused the confusion.
Right now it’s returning:
