Get clips: Can't get clips by game_id but can from clip id

I get succes when i use getClipDownloadUrl.
But when i use getTopClipsInTimeSpan it claims a problem with the oauth token.

Error

Response text: {"error":"Unauthorized","status":401,"message":"Invalid OAuth token"}
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Failed to get clip download URLs: 'data' field is missing or null
Aborted

They use the same end point so should the scope not be the same?

In Main

trust me on the id and secret pls


const int hours = 24*7;
const std::string clip_id = "ProtectiveDeadVultureAliens-r5smm8hR4m60iJmX";

TwitchApi ta;
std::string access_token = ta.getOAuthToken(client_id, client_secret);


std::string clip_download_url = ta.getClipDownloadUrl(access_token, client_id, clip_id);

std::vector<std::string> clip_urls = ta.getTopClipsInTimeSpan(client_id, client_secret,  "32399", hours);

I passed client id instead of access_token like a dummy and don’t know how to delete posts.
