[Lua] How to get follower count

API
6

I’ve tried that and received an error saying “Unrecognized request option url”. I’ll provide the code I used.

local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local client_id = "<your_client_id>" -- Replace <your_client_id> with your Twitch API client ID
local client_secret = "<your_client_secret>" -- Replace <your_client_secret> with your Twitch API client ID
local ClientAccountName = "<your_channel_name>"

local function GetToken()

	-- Make an HTTP request to the Twitch API to get an access token
	local url1 = "https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token"
	local data = "client_id="..client_id.."&client_secret="..client_secret.."&grant_type=client_credentials"
	local headers = {
		["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
		["Content-Length"] = #data,
	}
	local response, status, headers = http:RequestAsync({
		url = url1.."&"..data,
		method = "POST",
		headers = headers,
	})

	-- Parse the response to extract the access token
	if status == 200 then
		local data = http:JSONDecode(response)
		local access_token = data.access_token
		print(access_token)
		return access_token
	else
		print("Error getting access token: "..status)
		return false
	end
end

-- Make an HTTP request to the Twitch API to get the user's follower count
local url = "https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows?to_id="..ClientAccountName
local headers = {
	["Client-ID"] = client_id,
	["Authorization"] = "Bearer "..GetToken(), 
}

local response, status, headers = http:RequestAsync({
	url = url,
	headers = headers,
})

-- Parse the response to extract the follower countc
if status == 200 then
	local data = http:JSONDecode(response)
	local follower_count = data.total_followers
	print("Follower count for "..ClientAccountName..": "..follower_count)
else
	print("Error getting follower count: "..status)
end
