I’m getting

Status code: 202
Message: Accepted

and I’m always echoing back the challenge token, but when I call

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' -X GET 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/webhooks/subscriptions?first=10

I get

{"total":0,"data":[],"pagination":{}}

Anyone have any idea what’s wrong?

This was working a couple of days ago and I didn’t touch this part of my code since then.

Thanks!

@jo32pilot

token = token[“hub.challenge”]; res.writeHead(json.success, token); res.end();

This doesn’t seem correct.

You should be using a 200 HTTP code and the token in plain text.

Not a JSON.success

[jo32pilot]

Oh, sorry. json.success was a constant in my config file for the 200 HTTP code. I forgot to edit that in my post.

Thank you though. The problem was I wasn’t specifying the content type to be plain text.
