Twitch API with Laravel

API
1

hello i recently moved over to laravel and i had this working then not working and its really stressing me out where am i going wrong?

this is to get the access token

private function getTwitchAccessToken() {
    try {
        $response = Http::asForm()->post('https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token', [
            'client_id' => config('twitch.client_id'),
            'client_secret' => config('twitch.client_secret'),
            'grant_type' => 'client_credentials',
        ]);

        if ($response->successful()) {
            $accessToken = $response->json('access_token');
            return $accessToken;
        } else {
            $error = 'An error occurred while obtaining the access token: ' . $response->body();
            return $error;
        }
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        // Log or print the error details
        \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log::error('Twitch API Token Request Error:', [
            'URL' => 'https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token',
            'Error' => $e->getMessage(),
        ]);

        $error = 'An error occurred while making the Twitch API token request.';
        return $error;
    }
}

then i have get user id

function getUserID($twitchUsername) {
    try {
       $twitchAccessToken = $this->getTwitchAccessToken();
        $response = Http::withHeaders([
            'client_id' => config('twitch.client_id'),
            'Authorization' => 'Bearer '. $twitchAccessToken,
        ])->get('https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users?login=' . $twitchUsername);

        // Dump and die the response body for debugging
        return $response->body();

        if ($response->successful()) {
            $userData = $response->json('data.0');
            $userId = $userData['id'] ?? null;
            return $userId;
        } else {
            $error = 'An error occurred fetching user data.';
            print_r($error);
        }
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        // Log or print the error details
        dd($e->getMessage());

        // You might want to redirect or display an error message to the user.
    }
}

and to get the videos i use

$twitchAccessToken = $this->getTwitchAccessToken();
$twitchid = $this->getUserID($channelID);

if ($twitchAccessToken && $twitchid) {
    $response = Http::withHeaders([
       'client_id' => config('twitch.client_id'),
        'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $twitchAccessToken,
    ])->get('https://api.twitch.tv/helix/videos', [
        'user_id' => $twitchid,
        'first' => 50,
        'sort' => 'time',
        'type' => 'archive',
    ]);

    if ($response->successful()) {
        $twitchvideos = $response->json('data');
        $results = $twitchvideos;
        $viewName = 'twitch-videos';
    } else {
        $error = 'An error occurred while fetching videos: ' . $response->body();
        return $error;
    }
} else {
    $error = 'Failed to retrieve Twitch user ID or access token.';
    return $error;
}

and this is what i get

An error occurred while fetching videos: {"error":"Service Unavailable","status":503,"message":""}

its probably something small like is this a twitch error or my code wrong?

never mind

the problem was the accesskey missmatch. Problem solved
