Am I even doing this right...? (is_live integration into my own site)

What do you mean your example?

Also, still getting the error:

Token OKstdClass Object ( [access_token] => TOKEN [expires_in] => 5122285 [token_type] => bearer ) Array ( [data] => Array ( ) [pagination] => Array ( ) ) darkmage4 is not live

The log isn’t outputting any errors anymore though.
