Intended to reduce the expected prerequisite experience required for implementing Twitch OAuth to use the Twitch API(s)
The statements below are still a bit beyond your experiences and you need/want to use a Twitch API… is my motivation.
Twitch API(s) now require that some endpoint request must have an authorization in the header. To acquire an access token for a Twitch API you must be familiar with an authentication flow. The flows supported by Twitch are Implicit code, authorization code, and client credentials.
See Twitch Authentication Docs
- Quick setup and usage.
Required reading Getting Started with the Twitch API
$ npm install @callowcreation/basic-twitch-oauthA Node server is required, express is used here.
const express = require('express');
const crypto = require('crypto');
const qs = require('querystring');
const app = express();
const buffer = crypto.randomBytes(16);
const state = buffer.toString('hex');
const twitchOAuth = new TwitchOAuth({
client_id: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
client_secret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET,
redirect_uri: process.env.REDIRECT_URI,
scopes: [
'user:edit:broadcast',
'moderation:read'
]
}, state);
// redirect_uri ends up here
app.get('/auth-callback', async (req, res) => {
const qs = require('querystring');
const req_data = qs.parse(req.url.split('?')[1]);
const code = req_data['code'];
const state = req_data['state'];
try {
twitchOAuth.confirmState(state);
await twitchOAuth.fetchToken(code);
res.redirect('/home');
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
res.redirect('/failed');
}
});app.get('/extensions', async (req, res) => {
const url: string = `https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/extensions?user_id=${broadcaster_id}`;
const json = await twitchOAuth.getEndpoint(url);
res.status(200).json(json);
});try {
const url: string = `https://api.twitch.tv/helix/moderation/enforcements/status?broadcaster_id=${broadcaster_id}`;
const data = [
{ msg_id: '0', msg_text: 'I killing this', user_id: '101223367' },
{ msg_id: '1', msg_text: 'that was a death blow', user_id: '75987197' }
];
const json = await twitchOAuth.postEndpoint(url, { data });
res.status(200).json(json);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
res.send(error_message);
