Does anyone know if streaming through the API counts towards Twitch-tracked watchtime stats that they started doing?

May not be important to everyone, but I consider it quite essential to have my watchtime tracked so that I could then see accurate stats when Twitch generates them (annually).

Also wondering the same. I know it definitely does not if an external proxy is utilized, but unsure of the specifics of the tracking mechanism, i.e. is the tracking browser/JS-based.
