How to get follower count with the new API

API
1

Hi

I have been trying to get the follower count from a specific channel with the new API.
It seems that I have to send some headers, I can probably figure out to do this but I am a little lost on the whole process.

It is pretty simple what I want to do: I want to get the follower count of a specific channel with only the channel name. Can someone guide me how to do this?

I found this:
GET https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/“channel ID”/follows

And tried to make do a json_descode to get _total, but visiting the URL I just get the message “No client id specified”.

EDIT: I figured out how to get client ID and send it in cURL. :slight_smile:
I can’t seem to close this though.
