client_id parameter causes empty streams object

[NoxiusInfernus]

Greets,

I've noticed that since the maintenance on 03-06-13, that an api call that includes the client_id parameter will cause the api to return an empty "streams" object.

Example:
https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?client_id=YourClientID&channel=destructoid,avitag

The above will return an empty "streams" object, even if the channels you poll for are online. But if you drop the client_id parameter, then it will return a "streams" object with data about the online channels. IE:

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?channel=destructoid,avitag

Not a huge issue, since I can fix it on my end by dropping the client_id. I am however worried about future issues with rate limits if I cannot include my client_id.

Just wanted to point this out,

Hi Nox,

We recommend not using the client_id parameter in the URL anymore. Don't worry about rate limiting because we currently don't have a strict policy with regards to rate limiting. This issue was caused by a new feature we were pushing out, but should be fixed in ~20 minutes.

Cheers
