Helix searching user by username returns 401 error

@BarryCarlyon

First you need to determine if you need a token that represents a user, or just a server ot server token that lets you fetch public data, give you are calling a user by login you probably need an app access token, that is documented here

The requestes I use to do to Twitch API are
https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users?login=
https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/
https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/?channel=

@BarryCarlyon

a HTTP 401 like what you got from specifying no token at all.

Perfect I’ll handle them requesting a new token

@BarryCarlyon

Don’t need this header with Helix

Gotcha, thanks

I’ve also discovered that I need a client_secret where should i pick it? Never used before…
