To follow a new channel, you can make a PUT call to https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/test_user1/follows/channels/CHANNEL_TO_FOLLOW. The API documentation about it can be found here.

In this link, the user is USER, and the channel is CHANNEL_TO_FOLLOW. As far as gathering the username and channel name goes, that’s up to the web developer. Since this requires the application to be authenticated with the user_follows_edit scope, I would suggest making a call to to the api root with the token to get the username (Documentation).

The user will have to be logged into twitch on your page, with the ‘user_follows_edit’ scope.
