Validate is working:  
Authorization: OAuth user\_access\_token  
[https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/validate](https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/validate)  
“200 OK” and all information (id, login, expires etc).

But request:  
Authorization: bearer user\_access\_token  
Client-ID: client\_id  
[https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows?from\_id=MY\_ID&first=25](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows?from_id=MY_ID&first=25)  
“401 OAuth token is missing”.

It’s `Bearer` not `bearer`.

Oh… I just put “token\_type” from the server response. It was lowercase.  
It works now! Thanks =)
