I’m developing a program that needs to download the vods but i cant use the [https://api.twitch.tv/api/vods/[vodid]/access\_token?client\_id=](https://api.twitch.tv/api/vods/%5Bvodid%5D/access_token?client_id=)… to get the vod token and sig.  
So i refer to TwitchLeecher [https://github.com/Franiac/TwitchLeecher/blob/master/TwitchLeecher/TwitchLeecher.Services/Services/TwitchService.cs](https://github.com/Franiac/TwitchLeecher/blob/master/TwitchLeecher/TwitchLeecher.Services/Services/TwitchService.cs)  
and read the code how it works.  
It seems needing the oauth.  
So I used oauth as authentication but it didn’t work.  
Did I use the wrong oauth or there is another way to get the vod token and sig?  
THX!
