Requiring OAuth for Helix Twitch API Endpoints

There are no sustainable plans for that. You can currently still use Kraken without an OAuth token, but that’s deprecated and will be removed at some point in the future.

After Kraken is removed, and Helix requires an OAuth token, your options are to use the Implicit OAuth flow (which only has to be done once per user, it’ll be transparent to them after that), or use a backend server to make the requests.
