Hey, I can’t find information on why https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ is currently down, is there any estimated time when it will be up again?
That site is run by a 3rd party, and is not run or managed in any way by Twitch. As such, no one here can assist.
This is one of the risks you take when using token generators by random 3rd parties instead of properly implementing OAuth as they can fail without warning, and if anything should happen to their App it’s possible for all tokens generated by them to be killed off.
For testing, I’d recommend the Twitch CLI https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/cli/ to generate tokens to temporarily test things, but in production you should be implementing your own OAuth flow as documented https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/authentication/
I forgot it was a third party actually, so I supposed the topic is badly formulated, I did try to make my own implicit grant flow and it was giving out the same error as this website.
But yeah I’ll have to implement the other flow regardless. Thanks for answering.
Site owner here. A few weeks ago, when I migrated some sites from Nginx to Caddy, I forgot that anything was still hosted on that domain and didn’t migrate that configuration.
Regardless, this is probably a good time for this page to die. Rip https://twitchapps.com/tmi (July 2013 - Nov 2024).
It’s amusing how many production applications still use this site over 10 years later. Implementing your own auth isn’t that hard. 
Edit: I thought about deleting the OAuth application but I’ll leave it in place in the interest of not breaking A LOT of existing connections. If you were directing your users to this page to generate token for your application, I HIGHLY recommend migrating them to your own application.
