If you are going to use the code response_type=code, on your server, you have make the following request to obtain an access token:

POST https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/oauth2/token

`POST Body (URL-encoded)

client_id=[your client ID]
       &client_secret=[your client secret]
       &grant_type=authorization_code
       &redirect_uri=[your registered redirect URI]
       &code=[code received from redirect URI]
       &state=[your provided unique token]

The server will respond with a JSON-encoded access token:

  {
         "access_token": "[user access token]",
         "scope":[array of requested scopes]
 }

Then use that access_token that was returned.

or

you can use response_type=token and the access_token will be returned as part of the redirect_url.

  • Make sure you are using the access_token as the OAUTH_TOKEN and not the code.
