Twitch: "Please send us API feedback!" Me: "You need an IsStreamerLive endpoint that sites can embed without a client ID." Twitch: "Thanks for the feedback. We've gone ahead and done the opposite of that. You now need both the client ID _and_ an OAuth token!" Me: "I give up."

So it can't be that Casey looked at it carefully, determined that they provide this information without any credentialing in an easy-to-crawl-by-bots format, and thus determined that providing it via the API would actually just save them bandwidth. That couldn't be.

What's much more likely is Casey is just one of those game programmers who doesn't understand "the web", despite of course making all the websites for his company, and running a server which properly masks the client ID through a proxy, unlike most sites which just leak it.
