Getting Access Token after Authentication

[spikeedev]

@QuaranteTrois

You have to send a GET request with Authorization header.

Exemple with js :

    req.open("GET", "https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/validate", true);
    req.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "OAuth " + hash_GET["access_token"]);
    req.send(null);

See this is where I’m stuck. I can make that call from a script running on the redirect page, but that doesn’t help me with getting the token into my application. If I make a GET request from within my C# code, I obviously don’t have access to the hash from the url…
Am I looking at this the wrong way?

@BarryCarlyon

The user is redirected to my redirect_url (which is currently a http://localhost page) where their access token is visible as a GET parameter

This suggests you have used implicit auth?

Did you get a code or a token in the URL?

If it’;s a token in the # section of the URL you are on implicit auth and can use that in the header as suggested.

If it’s a code you need to perform the next step of the oAuth dance and exchange your code for a token

Step 3 On your server, get an access token by making this request:

Getting Tokens: OAuth

I am using implicit auth so yes, it is an access token.
