Scope not expanding with validate request?

[Wulf2k]

Any idea why my scopes don’t include bits:read?

I’m not getting a rejection, it’s just not expanding my scope.

Powershell

$auth = (Get-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Wulf -Name “wulf2k”).wulf2k

$sess = New-Object Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestSession

$uri = “https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/validate”
$headers = @{}
$body = @{}

$headers.Add(‘Authorization’, “Bearer $auth”)
$body.Add(‘scope’, ‘bits:read channel:read:subscriptions moderation:read’)
$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method Get -Headers $headers -Body $body -WebSession $sess

$result.scopes
channel:moderate
channel_editor
chat:edit
chat:read
whispers:edit
whispers:read

To get new permissions from a user, you need the target user to manually reauthenticate from the beginning.

You cannot refresh a token to get more permissions than that token originally had.

Additionally the validate endpoint is used to validate/give information about the current token. It is a read only endpoint and cannot be used to modify a token

Refresh docs - reduce scope or maintain scope - Authentication | Twitch Developers
