Some time ago IGDB merged with Twitch, then they moved their API to Twitch and deprecated the old API. It's unlikely that the old endpoints still work even with new keys.

GameHub wasn't updated to use the new API because it required switching to Twitch API tokens, which required to either

  • host a caching proxy server somewhere,
  • ask each user to register their own Twitch apps and set their own keys.

Both options are much less practical than the old API which only required one API key (default builtin key or a user-specified key to avoid API rate limits). Check #541 for more details.
