Useful for scripting. ``` twitch-dl clips bananasaurus_rex --json ``` Download all clips of the past week, won't overwrite exisitng ones: ``` twitch-dl clips bananasaurus_rex --download --period last_week ``` ## Notes Clips are fetched in batches no larger than 100. When requesting more than 100 clips, it takes more than one request so it can take a little time. You can see individual requests by passing the `--debug` flag. Currently it doesn't seem to be possible to get a list of clips ordered by time of creation, only by view count. Clips with the same view count seem to be returned in random order. This can break paging resulting in duplicate clips listed or clips missed.
