Need help getting client_id and user_id

@Purely_Orange

Is it possible to get an accs user id from helix api? If so, how?

Yes, depending on what data you have from the user you can call the Get Users API.

• Got a user token - use token only (no params)
• Username - use login param

• When I use helix api to work out, I’m getting oauth token does not match the client_id
  and when I use kraken (v5) I’m getting This Api does not exist!
  How do I fix this? please help!

If you have a access token already you have a ClientID, as you use the ClientID and ClientSecret together to make tokens (usually, unless implicit auth then it’s just ClientID)

Is it possible to get a client_id through helix api? If so, how?

Like your other question

Need help getting client secret

I’m trying to get client_secret from twitch api via a get request or a curl command. How do I do so? If that’s not possible, what are the alternate methods i can use to get client_secret, but through code only?

Both your ClientID and ClientSecret are obtained from the Developer Dashboard, and manually copy/pasted into the Application config

Twitch

For completeness the Validation Endpoint (Authentication | Twitch Developers) will return the ClientID for a given token, but if you have a token, then you already have a ClientID.

You may have used someone elses token generator (which is generally not advised), and if you did, you’d need their ClientID (which you can get from the auth URL they use) but you won’t be able to get their ClientSecret, which is why you should get your own ClientID/Secret from the Developer Dashboard Twitch Developers
