Your ClientID doesn’t have authorisation to read subscription information for the requested broadcaster ID. You need to do a user authentication flow for that broadcaster to obtain permission. So: obtain a User Access Token with the relevant scopes via a normal oAuth (the discard it or keep it, I usually keep it so I can do “my service was down” catch ups and resyncs) Then use your App Access Token (no user attached) to create the subscriptions I wrote futher on the duality of EventSub here: > **[How does Twitch’s new EventSub work?](https://barrycarlyon.co.uk/wordpress/2021/02/03/how-does-twitchs-new-eventsub-work/)** > > Preamble In the beginning, Twitch created Webhooks.

When I use authentication user with login button and I used the token, I have this error : ![image](https://d2spem0quai2ol.cloudfront.net/original/2X/9/9bca347d81bf1bfd733752b62429ec539a80b42f.png) ---

You need to user authenticate to get permissions for your ClientID And THEN use the App Access Token with EventSub. EventSub only supports App Access Tokens. > [@BarryCarlyon](#): > > So: obtain a User Access Token with the relevant scopes via a normal oAuth (the discard it or keep it, I usually keep it so I can do “my service was down” catch ups and resyncs) > Then use your App Access Token (no user attached) to create the subscriptions ---
