Looking for help understanding the Twitch API

[shmup]

I know you're going to eventually have a feature that I'm interested in, ala #147

But in the meantime, I'm trying to implement it along with my script discussed here: #186

I understand oauth needs to take me Elsewhere to authorize, and then send its response to a Return URI.

I guess I'm wondering, does mean I must stand up even the most minimal little server (python -m) or the like?

Here's what I've got, and #2 is where I'm stuck:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# using httpie and jq
# https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-followed-streams

#1 - pukes out {"access_token":"blahblahblah","expires_in":5609748,"token_type":"bearer"}
TOKEN=$(https -b POST \
  "https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token?client_id=$TWITCH_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=$TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET&grant_type=client_credentials" \
  'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' | jq '.access_token')

#2 - Is it definitely required on my part to stand up a little web server to receive this request?
#    Do I have _any_ other viable options?
https GET "https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=$CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000&scope=user%3Aread%3Afollows"

#3 - this'll work fine when i tackle #2
https GET "https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams/followed?user_id=$TWITCH_USER_ID" \
  "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  "Client-Id: $TWITCH_CLIENT_ID"

Any guidance would be appreciated.

(If you saw me hop into the Python Discord and ask this, it was only afterwords I realized "this is the wrong way to go about this" and left, to post it here)

Greetings. I'll look into this soon (am working on other project), thank you for the post.

I will explore this repo and probably get the thing I'm looking for: https://github.com/krathalan/wtwitch (not using it as a solution, but seeing Their solution)

You're working hard as hell on twt lately, congrats about that!

Good luck with figuring that out m8.

Finally was able to get abstraction of windows working after a while.

Perhaps this can help you? https://github.com/nbgibson/streamers/blob/main/streamers/streamers.py

Tracking in #147, being implemented in #419.
