Hey, I have a bot and I want to make a clip when a user writes `!clip`, I know there is an API method to do that but I want to make the clip as a bot, not as the streamer. Is there a way to do that?

You would need a User Access Token from the streamer (with the relevant scope applied), and when making a clip use the streamers token, not the bots token.

The problem with that the clip will be made by the streamer, I don’t want that. I want the clip to be made by the bot.

Sorry misread the actors back to front.

Generate a user access token for the bot with the relevant scopes applied and use that token instead

Hmm, thought about that but for some reason something in my mind told me that wouldn’t work, gonna try it. Thanks.
