I am using the Twitch API and am attempting to pull follower images. To do this, I have to parse my most recent followers, take the name of these followers and make a request for each to obtain their user image.
$.getJSON(streamFollowers, function(json) {
for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
var followerDisplayName = json.follows[i].user.display_name;
var followerName = json.follows[i].user.name;
var followerJSON = 'https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/' + followerName + '';
$.getJSON(followerJSON, function(json) {
var followerImage = json.logo;
if (followerImage === "null") {
followerImage = "null.jpg";
};
});
What I am having difficulty with is attempting to pull the "followerImage" result from the "followerJSON" parse.
Heres the code in action. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/rxEPXQ
Edit: A second parse isn't required. You can pull user images from the initial parse for usernames etc. I just didn't see see it at the time. My bad.
A users logo is null if a user doesn't have a profile picture set.

here it is with all your followers, you can see ones with it set work properly.
var streamFollowers = "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/tsm_dyrus/follows";
$.getJSON(streamFollowers, function(json) {
for (var i = 0; i < json.follows.length; i++) {
var followerDisplayName = json.follows[i].user.display_name;
var followerName = json.follows[i].user.name;
var followerImage = json.follows[i].user.logo;
$('#followers').append('<li><img src="' + followerImage + '"></img><br />' + followerDisplayName + '</li>');
}
});
