Would it be possible to implement a batch system using a started_at and ended_at day by day? I tested it with this site https://www.twitchanz.com/clips that I believe uses this calling method and going day by day returns clips with 2 views (600-1000 for one day's result on a popular result) vs going weekly (getting around 1000 max, but the views start at 67 or sometimes higher) My solution with the site has been going day by day (like start date 6/09, end date 6/10, export, start state 6/08 end date 6/07) and exporting the clips list from each day, but if I did this for 4 years, it would take a while. Could this be automated with the script?

I found a few issues on other projects that hopefully explain the solution. https://github.com/HugoJF/twitch-clip-downloader/issues/3 https://github.com/twitchdev/issues/issues/133#issuecomment-641451667

Rough example of this here: https://github.com/CodeSpent/twitch-clip-manager/blob/develop/cli/downloader.py

Not yet ready, but should help maintainer here get an idea.

Are you using started_at and ended_at for grabbing clips @CodeSpent?

I've confirmed that this will only backup 1018 clips maximum, even with the --limit option being higher (or not included)
