Get a List of Twitch VOD IDs by Streamer

I'm wondering if there is a Twitch app/website out there that will give me a list of all the vod IDs for past broadcasts that exist for a specified Twitch channel. I use ReChat to download chat logs so I can search for moments I want to revisit from past streams when I don't remember on which stream they occurred, but I'm finding it tedious to copy and paste each VOD ID one by one.

I'm not a dev myself but I know there is something in the JSON API that makes this possible - just don't know how to use it so I'm wondering if someone else has set this up anywhere on the Internet. Thanks for everyone's help!

I know you can get 100 from GQL.

You could make a POST request to: https://gql.twitch.tv/gql With

PostData = [{"operationName":"FilterableVideoTower_Videos","variables":{"limit":100,"channelOwnerLogin":"usernametogetvideos","broadcastType":null,"videoSort":"TIME","cursor":"MTQ1"},"extensions":{"persistedQuery":{"version":1,"sha256Hash":"2023a089fca2860c46dcdeb37b2ab2b60899b52cca1bfa4e720b260216ec2dc6"}}}]

You also require a Client-Id header. Obtainable by going to Twitch on a browser and simply copying your own inside the network developer tool.

It will respond with the entire VOD information for 100 videos.

So this took me way too long to figure out, I still don't know how to do proper url redirect authentication for users using your application, but if you just want a local, or server to server python script then here is how to do it with the "new twitch api". Hope it helps someone out there. 

import requests
import json

## Its the name you see when you browse to the twitch url of the streamer
USER_ID = "<USER_ID_NAME_YOU_WANT_THE_VIDEOS_FROM>"

## First setup your application on your dashboard.
## here: https://dev.twitch.tv/console
## then click "Register Your Application" on the right hand side.
## For the oauth redirect just write: http://localhost
## Make note of your Client ID
## Make note of your Client Secret 
CLIENT_ID = "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>" 
SECRET = "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_CODE>"

## First get a local access token. 
secretKeyURL = "https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token?client_id={}&client_secret={}&grant_type=client_credentials".format(CLIENT_ID, SECRET)
responseA = requests.post(secretKeyURL)
accessTokenData = responseA.json()

## Then figure out the user id. 
userIDURL = "https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users?login=%s"%USER_ID
responseB = requests.get(userIDURL, headers={"Client-ID":CLIENT_ID,
                                                'Authorization': "Bearer "+accessTokenData["access_token"]})
userID = responseB.json()["data"][0]["id"]


## Now you can request the video clip data.
findVideoURL = "https://api.twitch.tv/helix/videos?user_id=%s"%userID
responseC= requests.get(findVideoURL, headers={"Client-ID":CLIENT_ID,
                                                'Authorization': "Bearer "+accessTokenData["access_token"]})
print ( json.dumps( responseC.json(), indent = 4)  )

This python script will output the past broadcasts vod ids of a specific user (Using the new Twitch API v5).

import requests
import json

r = requests.get("https://api.twitch.tv/helix/videos?user_id=USERID&type=archive", headers={"Client-ID":"CLIENTID"})
j = json.loads(r.text)

for vod in j['data']:
    print(vod['id'])

You need to replace USERID with an actual user id. To obtain the user id of a streamer, an api call to a specific vod will help: https://api.twitch.tv/helix/videos?id=VODID. The response will include a user_id.

CLIENTID also needs to be replaced. You can obtain it by registering your application at Twitch Developers.
