> [@kurinshikari](#): > > Can you help me create a permanent token? There is no such thing Under the normal authentication flow you get a user token and a refresh token You can use the refresh token to get a new access token when the access token expires. (Then store the new access and refresh tokens) A refresh token doesn’t have an expiration but maybe become invalid for another reason requiring you to get a new access and refresh token key set again manually ---

I still haven’t been able to solve the problem. The only problem is I can’t create a token.If I can create a token, everything will go smoothly. ---

What do you mean “all stats” > [@kurinshikari](#): > > I just want to show the information of a channel that belongs to me on my own website.Does anyone have to login to view this? You need to create a token for _your_ account that can read this data. Then you have a script that will use that token and store information in a DB/other storage. And your website reads from the DB. ---

You will need to modify the code example you have used to generate this output and adjust it to do what you need to do. > [@kurinshikari](#): > > Subscriber count, Follower Count, Online / Offline Status, Last Follower Name, Last Sub Name etc. Subscriber is the only data that needs a scope. everything else is public and any token works ---

> [@kurinshikari](#): > > But i dont see any token code Becuase you need to modify the code to do what you need it to do The PHP Example > [@BarryCarlyon](#): > > This is a “one page” example in PHP that will do “regular/refreshable” User authentication that should serve as an example to build you own flow for this [twitch\_misc/authentication/user\_access\_generator/php at main · BarryCarlyon/twitch\_misc · GitHub](https://github.com/BarryCarlyon/twitch_misc/tree/main/authentication/user_access_generator/php) Stores the generated token in `$_SESSION` you need to modify the script to do what you need it to do. It’s an exmaple script to demonstrate how you can authenticate and obtain a token in PHP. So you could change this script to generate a token and store it in a DB for your Cron Scripts to collect your sub/follow count/etc for display on your website So take the script and adjust it accordingly to meet your needs. ---
