Get an Twitch OAuth Token for Server-to-Server Requests
If you, like me, are running chatbots and other streaming tools, you’ll need an OAuth token as of May 11, 2020.
I built this helper to create a convenient way to quickly get that access token for use in my various streaming bots and apps.
Quickstart
1. Install the package
# install the package
npm i @jlengstorf/get-twitch-oauth2. Set environment variables
TWITCH_CLIENT_ID=<YOUR_TWITCH_CLIENT_ID>
TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR_TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET>3. Get a token
const { getTwitchAccessToken } = require('@jlengstorf/get-twitch-oauth');
const { access_token } = getTwitchAccessToken();For a more complete example, see demo/index.js.
API

client_secret | no | process.env.TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET | your Twitch app’s client secret |
grant_type | no | "client_credentials" | for app-to-app tokens, this must be "client_credentials" |
scopes | no | "" | any permission scopes required by your app |
