username, userId = user(oauth)
channelId = getChannelId(name)
URL = f"https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/{userId}/follows/channels/{channelId}"
Headers = {"Accept": "application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json", "Client-ID": clientId, "Authorization": "OAuth " + oauth}
r = requests.get(URL, headers=Headers)
data = r.json()
print(data)
This code returns the error : {'error': 'Not Found', 'status': 404, 'message': 'Follow not found'}
Any solution? Using twitch api v5
@BarryCarlyon Any clue?
userId does not follow channelId
This is the correct response as userId does not follow channelId
it’s working as expected…
what way is it suppose to go?
i want to follow another account
I dont’ understand the question, you tested if userID follows channelID, and userID doesn’t.
IE the authentication user, say PrintHam, doesn’t follow Lirik on Twitch.
Kraken didn’t return a follow object
Checks if a specified user follows a specified channel. If the user is following the channel, a follow object is returned.
As PrintHam doesn’t follow Lirik.
Additionally if you were calling helix, Reference | Twitch Developers you’d get an empty data array which would show the same (no follow found between to two IDs)
Ohhhh it does that. I thought it would make a user follow another channel. Do you know how to do this?
Then you need to call the “Create Follows” End point, not the “Get Follow Status” endpoint
Kraken Reference | Twitch Developers
Helix Reference | Twitch Developers
Okay one second, I will try it and let you know what happens
https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows I read the documentation for this link. It says I need the parameters from_id to id. Where do I put it in the link?
Like this? URL = f"https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows/from_id={userId}/to_id={channelId}" @BarryCarlyon
As per the documentation https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#create-user-follows
from_id and to_id are query string parameters
So its
https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows?from_id=xyz&to_id=abc
or JSON as the example shows
curl -X POST 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer 2gbdx6oar67tqtcmt49t3wpcgycthx' \
-H 'Client-Id: wbmytr93xzw8zbg0p1izqyzzc5mbiz' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"to_id": "41245072","from_id": "57059344"}'
This doesn’t exactly follow them 
Whats the error response?
from_id would be the user ID for PrintHam
to_id would be the user ID of the channel you want to follow (eg Lirik)
from_id would also need to match the ID of the user in user access token/bearer you provide
No errors, but it doesn’t follow the user
What is the error/body response when you make the API request?
