Hi,

When using [https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/search/channels?q=](https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/search/channels?q=), in the response the ‘followers’ key always returns 0. Is this a temp bug?

Thanks

I filed a bug on this, BTW. I’ll let you know when it is resolved.

Yep, it has been like this since october:

> [@Search API always returns 0 followers](https://staging-discuss.dev.twitch.com/t/search-api-always-returns-0-followers/8015):
>
> I posted this on github but since nobody answered i’m guessing this would be a better place: Since this last friday/saturday the search API has been returning 0 followers for every single one of the channel objects returned as a result of the search queries.

I guess it’s not of the utmost priority
