</div>

For people that like to put “24 hour stream” in their topic, is there a way to narrow down searches that will result in only showing streams that have that text in the title?

Example: [https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?game=Counter-Strike%3A%20Global%20Offensive&limit=10&status=24%20hour](https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?game=Counter-Strike%3A%20Global%20Offensive&limit=10&status=24%20hour)

Any help would be appreciated.

You could try `/search/streams`.

You know what. That works. I had to figure out how to make sure I only pulled certain specific games, but it seems to work. Thanks

Oops, I was wrong, I haven’t been able to narrow down a specific game…

You would need to filter the search results locally if you want to limit to a game.

Yeah, thanks, that’s what I ended up doing.
