401: Missing User OAUTH Token (get-custom-rewards)

[TheKill_996]

@Dist

You’re using the wrong OAuth flow. client_credentials creates an App Access Token, meaning it represents the app itself and not a user, and so does not have any user permissions associated with it.

So I can’t access get-custom-rewards directly as the user? I need to ask as an application the permission to the above-mentioned user to access its data?

@Dist

You should use your app for the project, and either the Auth Code flow if you want to get tokens that can be refreshed on your server, or the Implicit flow if you want to use the tokens client-side (these can’t be refreshed, so you’d need to send the user through the auth flow each time the token expires).

I would like to develop an automated script, so having the user authenticate isn’t probably the best way. Also I don’t have a server where to host the Auth service. Isn’t there a solution to act like the user?

@Dist

Also, for the endpoint you’re using you’d need the channel:read:redemptions scope, so make sure that’s set on the auth process so that Twitch will explicitly ask the user if they wish to grant that access to your app.

Where should I specify this?

@BarryCarlyon

Then if you are using StreamElements you need support from StreamElements which is a different API to Twitch

I feel like I first need to understand what I’ve to do in order to achieve my goals, I’ve tried reading Auth Code as @Dist suggested but I didn’t understand much, please read my doubts in the first rows of this answer.

I don’t know what a SE Widget can or can’t do since I don’t use SE I run my own system

Basically StreamElements host custom widgets into jailed iframes, widgets are built with HTML, CSS and JS; you can see some further information into their GitHub repo. From there I’m able to create GET/POST requests. Let me know if you need more information, I would love to provide them.

I feel like we can provide a huge contribution to the community solving this thread since I’ve seen people having my same doubts but didn’t see a really conclusion into their threads.
