How to get viewer count for a stream/game

[alexjudeking]

More of a question than an issue, but how do I retrieve the viewer count for a certain game or stream? Doesn't appear that the viewer_count variable exists.

Cheers

Hello, sorry for the (very) late response. I didn't receive a notification for some reason.

You can use the function get_streams()$data to retrieve the information including viewer count.
You can also use the argument game_id to query streams of specific games.

As an example: get_streams(game_id = 488552)$data[ ,c("user_name", "viewer_count")] retrieves data of top streams for game_id 488552 and selects only the user_name and viewer_count columns of the returned dataframe object.
