How to get accessToken for use 'New Twitch API'?

API
1

Hello, all

I testing to get information by ‘New Twitch API’.
But, I found only that I have didn’t understand about token.

I used returned token in authentication for using ‘New Twitch API’.
There is two token in return value of authentication (accessToken, refreshToken).

But, I met message like below when used this token.
{“error”:“Unauthorized”,“status”:401,“message”:“Must provide valid app token.”}

Is it correct that used returned token in authentication?
Or Must I request new token for using ‘New Twitch API’?

You attempted to perform a request against an API end point that requires an App Token.

App Token’s can be obtained as per the docs here:

Which end points are you trying to work with?

Thank you for your answer.
I have a question.

I tested as access_token in ’ OAuth Client Credentials Flow’.

var gettokenURL = ‘https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token?client_id=<%=config.clientID%>&client_secret=<%=config.clientSecret%>&grant_type=client_credentials&scope=channel_read’;

But, I met message below.
{“error”:“Unauthorized”,“status”:401,“message”:“invalid oauth token”}

So, I got access_token in scope ‘channel_read’ by below site.
And The access_token work normally.

I don’t understand this situation.

Is fault my how to get access token?

Yes

This is wrong

As per

As mentioned earlier, app access tokens are only for server-to-server API requests. The grant request below requires the client secret to acquire an app access token; this also should be done only as a server-to-server request, never in client code.

You are requesting the WRONG token type.

You need an oAuth loop around: OAuth Authorization Code Flow

The type of token you have obtained is a “server to server” token and doesn’t support the channel_read scope, as theres no user attached to it.
