So in fact there will be no way to fetch the follower count without the permission of the broadcaster through the user access token?
This is yet again something I just dont understand. The linked twitch VOD talks about matching the API with the website UI but in fact it does minimize the API even more. I can see the follower count when visiting the broadcasters channel but I cannot get the followers count via an API without the broadcasters permission.
Its the same mismatch with the goals. I can see the goals visiting the broadcasters channel but I need an user access token to get this information when using the API.
Please make those infos publicly available via the API using an app access token if they can be seen on the website UI.
