just cant write in chat. Get bearer\_token with  
#access\_token=&scope=channel%3Abot+user%3Abot+user%3Awrite%3Achat+moderator%3Amanage%3Aannouncements&token\_type=bearer

Was able to get follower list with another token and code, but this 2 didn’t work

```auto
import requests

client_id = '3gpdymotr4fxjg6jr05eiszf9tz3b5'
bearer_token = ''
broadcaster_id = 861649060

url = 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/chat/announcements?broadcaster_id=861649060&moderator_id=861649060'

headers = {
    'Authorization' : f'Bearer {bearer_token}',
    'Client-Id' : f'{client_id}',
    'Content-Type' : 'application/json'
}
data = {
    'message' : 'Hello, world! twitchdevHype',
    'color' : 'purple'
    }

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, data=data)

if response.status_code == 200:
    response_data = response.json()
    print(f"Message ID: {response_data['data'][0]['message_id']}, Sent: {response_data['data'][0]['is_sent']}")
else:
    print(f"Error: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")

```

and

```auto
import requests

client_id = '3gpdymotr4fxjg6jr05eiszf9tz3b5'
bearer_token = ''
broadcaster_id = 861649060

url = 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/chat/messages'

headers = {
    'Authorization' : f'Bearer {bearer_token}',
    'Client-Id' : f'{client_id}',
    'Content-Type' : 'application/json'
}
data = {
    'broadcaster_id': f'{broadcaster_id}',
    'sender_id' : f'{broadcaster_id}',
    'message' : 'Hello, world! twitchdevHype'
    }

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, data=data)

if response.status_code == 200:
    response_data = response.json()
    print(f"Message ID: {response_data['data'][0]['message_id']}, Sent: {response_data['data'][0]['is_sent']}")
else:
    print(f"Error: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")

```

What is the body of the response?

The HTTP code is half the information, the body should contain a descriptive error

You’ve tried to send a body with a GET request

> [@ejsjjdn](#):
>
> `response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, data=data)`

Both of these should be POST requests not GET requests

Docs: [Reference | Twitch Developers](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#send-chat-announcement) and  
[Reference | Twitch Developers](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#send-chat-message) show the use of the POST verb in the URL and example.

You’ve done a GET request instead

Thanks a lot, I didn’t think that I’m that blind.
