Connects, but then error: No response from Twitch

Chat and IRC
1

First timer here. I’m following the guide at Getting Started | Twitch Developers

My code looks like this:

const tmi = require('tmi.js');

// Define configuration options
const opts = {
  identity: {
    username: 'CoonBot',
    password: 'oauth:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'   // yes I am using the actual oath token
  },
  channels: [
    'https://www.twitch.tv/gamershork',
	'https://www.twitch.tv/nanbreadloaf'
  ]
};

// Create a client with our options
const client = new tmi.client(opts);

// Register our event handlers (defined below)
client.on('message', onMessageHandler);
client.on('connected', onConnectedHandler);

// Connect to Twitch:
client.connect();

// Called every time a message comes in
function onMessageHandler (target, context, msg, self) {
  if (self) { return; } // Ignore messages from the bot

  // Remove whitespace from chat message
  const commandName = msg.trim();

  // If the command is known, let's execute it
  if (commandName === '!dice') {
    const num = rollDice();
    client.say(target, `You rolled a ${num}`);
    console.log(`* Executed ${commandName} command`);
  } else {
    console.log(`* Unknown command ${commandName}`);
  }
}

// Function called when the "dice" command is issued
function rollDice () {
  const sides = 6;
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * sides) + 1;
}

// Called every time the bot connects to Twitch chat
function onConnectedHandler (addr, port) {
  console.log(`* Connected to ${addr}:${port}`);
}

And then when I run it with Command Prompt…

Any ideas? :<

Someone on the TwitchDev Discord solved it for me.

The problem was that channel names should just be a username, not a URL. Also the username should have been my username, ‘gamershork’, instead of the bot’s registered name.

So instead of

    'https://www.twitch.tv/gamershork',
	'https://www.twitch.tv/nanbreadloaf'

it’s just

'gamershork',
'nanbreadloaf'

The username should match the account represented by the oauth token. So, if you want to send messages from a specific bot name, you will need an oauth token associated with the bot account.
