Best oauth method for local application

[BarryCarlyon]

Implicit auth:

Getting OAuth Access Tokens

Only requires ClientID is the most appropriate to use for local apps

Or your App phones home/logs into a server and your server holds the login/twitch account matches/key pairs

This application would need to read channel points, when someone follows, and when someone subs. I believe all this information can be received by using PubSub?

Follows are not over PubSub. that would require long polling the follows API

@SkyCandy

For OAuth implicit, it’s my understanding that the token can be viewed using Javascript after the user requests the token. I think then, for my application, I would need to require the user to copy and paste the token into the app?

Only if your App can’t raise a web server to recieve the loop back (with a bit of JS to grab the acess token from the #hash and relay to your app) with the access token.
