Use Twitch.tv JSON API Project Issues

I’m working on this project now and since it is suggested to use the third party api in lieu of registering for a twitch.tv api key, I don’t think one of the user stories works now. The json response for one of the suggested closed account users (comster404) is as follows:

{“stream”:null,"_links":{“self”:“https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/comster404",“channel”:"https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/comster404”}}

this is the same response as an active offline account, so I don’t see a way to distinguish between the two.

Another minor issue is that the video shows a bonus user story to search for users via text input which isn’t shown in the current project objective list.

You may need to make more than one API call. Try using the /users endpoint.
