I had developed my own C# application to make calls to twitch api to get list of all the live users i am currently following. It was working fine until April or something.
I pass this string to the call in the code via WebClient.DownloadString to be parsed with json:
https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/followed?oauth_token=[mytoken]&stream_type=live
This used to work fine and returned a long parsable string from web which i used in my app.
But now the string returned says that i am missing the scope.(my oauth is correct)
So i went on and tried this on a web browser to check if my oauth is correct via this link: https://api.twitch.tv/kraken?oauth_token=[my oauth]
This returns a valid string but; It turns out that the token i got from web has only chat_login scope. I want to set a user_read scope or at least retrieve a token which has user_read scope. Not chat_login scope; as chat_login scope does not permit me getting string via https//api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/followed?oauth_token=[mytoken]&stream_type=live
In the authentication manual of twitch api in github there is a process which requires a call that grants my application access to my twitch info. I need to specify redirect_uri there to get the access_token which has the user_read scope.
But i have no idea about how to specify a redirect_uri and which function to call that will return the access_token string with the user_read scope that i need.
Is this new in v3 twitch api? (Which is probably changed around in April?)
To summarize: What should i do to get an #access_token which has a user_read scope rather than chat_login scope?
My Code:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
const string chName = "ryetta";
const string FollowsURL = "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/" + chName + "/follows/channels?limit=200&sortby=last_broadcast";
const string oauth = "4yk...";
const string FollowedURL = "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/followed?oauth_token=" + oauth + "&stream_type=live";
BindingList<ChannelData> channels = new BindingList<ChannelData>();
WebClient wc;
string selectedChannelName;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
wc = new WebClient();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string s = jsonget(FollowedURL); // this is where i get the scope error so the other parts of the code is irrelevant
//JObject jObj = JObject.Parse(s);
StreamFollowed streams1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<StreamFollowed>(s);
channels.Clear();
foreach (Stream stream in streams1.streams)
{
System.IO.Stream str = wc.OpenRead(stream.preview.medium);
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(str);
channels.Add(new ChannelData(stream, bmp));
}
dataGridView1.DataSource = channels.Select(cdata => new {
cdata.Name,
cdata.ViewerCount,
cdata.Game,
cdata.Title,
cdata.UpTimeString,
cdata.BmpPreview,
cdata.followersCount,
cdata.ratio}).ToList();
selectedChannelName = (string)dataGridView1.SelectedRows[0].Cells[0].Value;
}
public string jsonget(string url)
{
return wc.DownloadString(url);
}
Thanks in advance for your time.
