Hello,

I need to recover email and username.

For the moment with url: “[https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token](https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token)”  
I have “access\_token”, “expires\_in”, “refresh\_token”, “scope”: [“user\_read”], “token\_type”: “bearer”.

however following in my code I use url: “[https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users)”  
I got: {“error”: “Unauthorized”, “status”: 401, “message”: “OAuth token is missing”}

$validate\_token is ‘access\_token’

> ```
> $ch = curl_init ();
> 
> $url = 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users';
> 
> curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
> curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET');
> curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array (
> 'Authorization: Bearer'. $validate_token,
> 'Client-ID:'. $clientID
> ));
> curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);
> 
> $response = curl_exec ($ ch);
> echo $response;
> 
> curl_close ($ ch);
> 
> ```

With reqbin i got a good response json but with my website i don’t got.

</div>

```
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array (
     'Authorization: Bearer'. $validate_token,
     'Client-ID:'. $clientID
 ));

```

should be

```
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array (
     'Authorization: Bearer '. $validate_token,
     'Client-ID:'. $clientID
 ));

```

You were missing the space after Bearer and before the token

Its not a solution,

> ```

> 'Authorization: Bearer '. $validate_token,
> 'Client-ID: '. $clientID
> ));
>

I add a space in 'Authorization: Bearer ’ and 'Client-ID: ’

again : {“error”:“Unauthorized”,“status”:401,“message”:“OAuth token is missing”}

</div>

And you checked that `$validate_token` contains the token?

I don’t see any other problem with your code

This doesn’t tell me if `$validate_token` is available to your first bit of code.

You may have wrapped the first bit in a function and not made the token available inside that function.

So might be easier to show all your code rather than parts of your code

Theres your problem

> `CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => false`

and/or

> curl\_setopt($ch, CURLOPT\_RETURNTRANSFER, false);

This should be `true` for both requests.

Other wise

> $response = curl\_exec($ch);

Contains nothing useful

[https://www.php.net/curl\_setopt](https://www.php.net/curl_setopt)

> **`TRUE`** to return the transfer as a string of the return value of [curl\_exec()](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-exec.php) instead of outputting it directly.

I just didn’t clock it in your original post
