Live Extension Activated Channels: weird pagination

[BarryCarlyon]

Brief description

it's an old issue but needs to be logged

https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/extensions/reference/#get-live-channels-with-extension-activated

The pagination/record count is weird

How to reproduce

Call the end point, and marvel how page 1 has 3 records, page 2 5 records, page 3 1 record, page 4 3 records....

Expected behavior

Fixed number of records on a page and/or a limit option to control records returned.

Additional context or questions

It's been like this for ages even more so since the "Channels with extension installed on" broke and was removed

Sometimes you can even get an empty array of result on a page with the pagination cursor, and next page you have results in the array.

I'd appreciate a fix. My extension has tens of thousands of active channels. That means, in order to get a list of active channels, I have to literally make tens of thousands of api calls.

count: number of api calls so far
pageSize: number of channels returned per call.
Some calls return zero results + a new token. I've seen 2 consecutive calls with zero results...??

^ that stops at 10,000 calls b/c i forgot to increase the max limit, and I wasn't going to run the script again b/c it takes 10+ minutes.

This is mostly irrelevant now that it has been replaced by a new endpoint but other issues exist

the new endpoint is not gappy like the old
