I have a site that currently authenticates users successfully though the twitch API, however, I’d like the users to maintain the current url location when they authenticate. For instance, if the users URL is currently [http://mysite.com/riotgames](http://mysite.com/riotgames), I’d like, after authentication, to redirect back to that URL instead of [http://mysite.com/](http://mysite.com/)

Thanks!

You can add a `state` parameter to your redirect call which is be reserved once Twitch redirects back to you.

[https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/authentication.md#authorization-code-flow](https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/authentication.md#authorization-code-flow) (ctrl + f “state”)

What if I’m using Implicit Grant Flow?

I don’t think it is possible with the implicit flow.
