Current status of the problem with /search/streams
Not returning random streams for whatever reason.
Currently streaming for the game Ultra Street Fighter IV:
2,117 viewers on FrameTrapTV
109 viewers on Rayoux
93 viewers on MDZ_jimmY
23 viewers on SinPhawks
17 viewers on classicfgctv
14 viewers on Xanoz_Ichimonji
8 viewers on AZAZEL_87
6 viewers on Xladyvalentinex
6 viewers on Akkirulez
But when you look for
api.twitch.tv/kraken/search/streams?q=FrameTrapTV
you get {"_total":0 …
whereas
api.twitch.tv/kraken/search/streams?q=MDZ_jimmY
you get {"_total":1 …
and it shows the info.
So of the list of current top USF4 streams in the directory (I
refreshed again to make sure they are still live and they are) There are
only 4 showing. MDZ_jimmY, classicfgctv, xladyvalentine, akkirulez.
This happens for pretty much every game I’m searching for.
Using the api call
api.twitch.tv/kraken/search/streams?limit=100&q=Ultra%20Street%20Fighter%20IV
The streams that can’t be searched by themselves also don’t show up in the game name search.
