Getting Current Subs List

Chat and IRC
1

Hello,

I am using Pircbot in Java for a chat bot and am having trouble getting a list of current subs for a particular channel. This is how I am currently attempting it. Any advice?

URL subs = new URL(“https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/channel_name/subscriptions/”);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) subs.openConnection();
// Set Headers
conn.setRequestProperty(“authorization”, “OAuth -token-”);
conn.setRequestProperty(“accept”, “application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json”);
conn.setRequestProperty(“client-id”, “client_id”);

Thanks!

Under v5 you should send channel_id not channel_name

URL subs = new URL(“https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/channel_id/subscriptions/”);

I have tried both and neither has worked. Sorry, should have said that.

I get a 401 error code.

A 401 indicates that you don’t have permission to access the requested channel_id’s subscribers. You can check the body response for more information

You need a token with the relevant oAuth scope applied to it

The scope for this subscriber end point is channel_subscriptions
