Start Channel Commercial

API
6

I did some further testing myself and channel_commercial is the correct scope. channel_editor alone will not work. (cc @DallasNChains error in the docs?) The channel does need to be live for the commercial to execute however you will get a different error indicating such:

{
  "error": "Unprocessable Entity",
  "status": 422,
  "message": "Commercials breaks are allowed every 8 min and only when you are online."
}

I copied your code replacing my Client-ID and OAuth token (with channel_commerical scope) and received the offline channel error instead of the token error you are receiving.

I would recommend double checking your OAuth token to make sure it has the correct scope: https://api.twitch.tv/kraken?oauth_token=
