Nevermind I was stupid. I tried accessing “[https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/twitchname?client\_id=bla](https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/twitchname?client_id=bla)” instead of “[https://api.twitch.tv/channels/twitchname?oauth\_token=blabla](https://api.twitch.tv/channels/twitchname?oauth_token=blabla)”
