Verify Access Token endpoint

API
1

Hello,

I want to show a connect status to my user using his access_token :

  • “No connected” if missing
  • “No connected” if present but invalid
  • “Connected” if present and valid

Is there an endpoint to verify the validity of an access_token ?
Actually we are requesting an authenticated endpoint with this access_token in order to determine the access_token validity, this is pretty dirty :frowning:

Under v5 you can make a call with the access_token to

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/

Which will also give you the scopes for the key too

Only under v5, not in v3 ?

Thanks for your fast reply :slight_smile:

Should work for v3/v5 which are both kraken. Helix (aka new api) doesn’t have an equivalent yet.

Thanks a lot !
