Get Viewer Display Name using Extension Frontend Helix Token

Ok got it.

So if i’m not generating a token in the frontend as referenced in the code here:
Here it is recommended to use the client secret/extension secret to generate a 60 day api token:

github.com

BarryCarlyon/twitch_profile_extension/blob/main/ebs/server.js

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

/* Load Configuration, ports and secrets */
const config = JSON.parse(
    fs.readFileSync(
        path.join(
            __dirname,
            'config.json'
        )
    )
);

/* Load Common Libs */
const express = require('express');
const cors = require('cors');
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

const app = express();
const http = require('http').Server(app);

So you are saying to use this method that I am currently using in my code & referenced here:

However, my getToken() method will return the helix token stored in the Authentication.js, but my requests are complaining about an Invalid token (401)
