I’m trying to figure out how I can get a channel’s subscriber count from my Python script, it was used to just notify if the channel was live, but I’ve since decided to improve it and being able to find the total subscriber count would be really useful.
At present I am using " Client credentials grant flow" to get my access token, and I am somewhat at the conclusion that I am going to need to use one of the other methods. I know I need the scope “channel:read:subscriptions” but I am not sure exactly where I request that in this access method or if it’s even possible?
Thanks Barry, I had a feeling this was the case, I guess I’ll get started on a user oAuth flow instead.
This pretty much mandates using a website doesn’t it? It’s not possible to do simply inside Python or something?
I’m interested in the other options if I was authenticating myself. If I am a moderator of another channel, I would be able to then check these things. What are those other options? I’d ideally like something stand alone that doesn’t need the other user to authenticate as they’re not tech savvy and I want to make things as simple as possible
