/helix/users doesn't return info on Bearer token

Hello maybe try curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true)

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true)

and

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1)

are the same thing

If I provide nothing, reading the docs I expected it to return info on the username associated with the Bearer token I’m sending as a header with the request. Instead I get a Status 400: Bad Request error and Must provide an ID, Login or OAuth Token.

That would suggest the token specified here is an App Access Token.

@oelna

The weird thing is: if I do the same request via Javascript fetch, again providing no query parameters, the request works!

Where did you run the request? In a console on Twitch or in JS client side code on your own server? (If console on Twitch cookies may have interferred)

You can also run/test your token against the validate endpoint Authentication | Twitch Developers :

    $ch = curl_init('https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/validate');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        'Authorization: OAuth ' . $_SESSION['token']->access_token
    ));

    $r = curl_exec($ch);
    $i = curl_getinfo($ch);

    curl_close($ch);

And check $r to check your token type to see if it returns a user ID in the response.
That’ll help determine what kind of token you have
