Hello all, As We all know there is only 7 months left until the v5 will be deprecated and Helix will be the only API for us to use. I have been watching Helix development since the introduction and I feel like a lot of the features of the old APIs are not implemented in Helix. Now, obviously Helix…

Main thing I’m missing is a channel subscribers endpoint, I’m hoping the reason for it taking so long is because it’s getting some much needed love compared to what v5 returns. A Helix chatters endpoint with id’s would be nice too :wink: Honestly though, for my needs I’m happy with the progress He…

My hope is that the channel subscriber endpoint is taking awhile because it’s going to be released along with the webhook. That would be super exciting. +1 to the chatter endpoint though. #1 endpoint used by chat bots.

I didn’t see the Community or Teams endpoints in the documentation - or on the Trello Roadmap. Those are the last endpoints I need to port CouchBot over to be completely on the Helix API. For now, I’ve just been using both APIs. Will check back here and see if Amorelandra is able to find anything o…

Thanks for the reply, hopefully we get some clarification and good news soon.

I am curious about this as well…I just started working with the API recently and all I really need to finish my current project is a simple subscriber count, similar to the ‘total’ from follows in Helix. I don’t really want to take the time to dealing with v5 when Helix seems simpler to work with a…

For a project I’m working on, I’m going to be (temporarily) relying on https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/bits/#get-cheermotes to tell me which tokens are cheermotes because the PubSub Bits event doesn’t tell me. But, with v5 being deprecated and that API call being removed, I don’t see a repl…

I’m also very concerned about the missing endpoint to follow/unfollow other users. I have currently over 2000 users that rely on this feature. Best luck to the devs!

I’ll toss my name on the pile. I’ve just recently started working with the Twitch API and frankly I find it very concerning that there is such a strict date for removal of the v3/v5 endpoints when Helix seems to have less than half the functionality they provided. I get the sense that this is a del…

I’m worried about the lack of a search API

I actually think that if Helix doesnt get all major endpoints in like 2-3 months they need to move the removal of v3/v5 by a bit. Developers that dont work full time on their project should have at least 3-6 months to transition old code to the new API once everything they need is ready. But thats…

Is Helix gonna be ready?
