`GET /channels/:channel` body can contain `"mature": null` #551

Closed MinnDevelopment closed 8 years ago

MinnDevelopment commented 8 years ago

I was parsing channel objects and got a NullPointerException from the "mature" key. I previously check if the response contains "_id" to make sure it is a proper object

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that null means that the user has not explicitly set whether or not their channel is mature or not, which true and false meaning that the channel has picked a setting.

a lot of keys can have nulls. most defaults seems to be null unless otherwise set.

This is my bot that I never filled out the info for. https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/muddbot/

Yea I figured. I'm just checking for null for everything now. It should have a default value though. And hi muddr ;O

See https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/README.md#formats - twitch considers everything not specifically set as blank.
