IRC-Client Login unsuccessful

[KitaSeven]

Hi,
i’m trying to connect to the twitch irc, but i always get “Login unsuccessful”.

• I have register an App via Twitch Developers.
• I used the Client-ID + Client-Secret to use the “twitch cli”. see Twitch CLI | Twitch Developers
• I run the command "twitch token --user-token --scopes “user:read:chat user:write:chat” to get an oauth token.
• Now i have a “User Access Token” what I’m using as “PASS oauth:xyz123” like in IRC Concepts | Twitch Developers.

If i use a wrong token, i get “Login authentication failed”, but with the right token i get “Login unsuccessful”.
I’m using HexChat as test irc client.

Any idears what i’m doing wrong? thx for helping.

I run the command "twitch token --user-token --scopes “user:read:chat user:write:chat” to get an oauth token.

Thats the wrong scopes for over IRC

Authenticating with the Twitch IRC server

Before you can continue, you must authenticate with Twitch and get a User Access Token with chat:read (to read chat messages over IRC) and chat:write (to send chat messages over IRC) scopes. You will need this token to continue, and also the username of the account you generated the token for.
For more information on this, see Authenticating.

Thanks BarrayCarlyon for the fast answer.

After I call "twitch token --user-token --scopes “chat:read chat:write” I get this answer:
"{“status”:400,“message”:“invalid scope requested: ‘chat:write’”}

thx for helping.

You have found a documentation bug

twitch token --user-token --scopes "chat:read chat:edit"

is the correct command/scope

filed as: Authenticating with the Twitch IRC server: `chat:write` · Issue #1063 · twitchdev/issues · GitHub

Thanks, I just also found it on another page Twitch Access Token Scopes | Twitch Developers .

I can now login via IRC.
