Export a channel's clips and VODs via the Twitch Helix API, including pagination limits and the lack of an official full-VOD download endpoint

Steps

1. Call Get Clips with broadcaster_id to retrieve clips captured from that broadcaster's streams, including metadata like view count, creation date, and a thumbnail_url
2. Paginate through results as needed, but plan around the fact that pagination for a single query returns a maximum of roughly 1,000 results total, regardless of how many pages you request
3. To retrieve more than ~1,000 clips, split the query into multiple requests using different started_at/ended_at time-range windows rather than relying on pagination cursors alone
4. Call Get Videos with the broadcaster's user ID to list VODs, highlights, and uploads together by default, or filter by type=archive, type=highlight, or type=upload to scope the response to just one category
5. Confirm there is no official Helix endpoint for bulk-downloading or exporting full VOD video files comparable to the download support available for clips - plan your export/backup workflow around this limitation rather than assuming a direct download URL is available from Get Videos
6. For clip video files specifically, check current Twitch documentation for the officially supported clip download mechanism before relying on any thumbnail_url-derived or reverse-engineered download URL pattern, since undocumented approaches can break without notice
