Game Plugin Getting Channel Subscriber issue

[int128fly]

Hi twitch api community, I have no idea where to post this sorry if I am in the wrong place.

I am making a plugin for the game rust that give certain in-game 'kits' to subscribers for a channel. So currently when the player is connecting to the server I am making a call to the twitch API to find out their twitch account by providing the steamid.

My issue with that, from what I understand, the API request me to make the user login with the twitch oauth to get a token to be able to fetch some data which I need to look if the user is subscribe to the channel. As you can see in my situation I am limited and I don't see any solution to my problem and it seem to be a twitch API limitation that I cannot detour.

Please somebody help me ;(

The first two endpoints listed on the doc page you linked use the authorization of the channel owner so you will only need to generate a token for that account and not each user on the server. On Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 5:38 AM int128fly notifications@github.com wrote:

Don't I need to make the owner of the channel login with oauth so they can authorize my application to fetch the information? How am I suppose to do that in my plugin?

Is there a way to make the channel owner authorize the application in an other way? If the application is owned by the channel owner does the application grant automatically access to that user/channel information?

EDIT: https://gyazo.com/913a2669d3065a15d549f7dd9fcae6ff How can I make that happen without having a webhost or sent twitch login screen to the channel owner?

Create a small login webpage that uses one of the grant flows to generate a token and have them provide it to you (or enter it into the plugin confit if they are setting up the plugin themselves). Tokens don't expire so you only have to do it once. On Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 6:45 AM int128fly notifications@github.com wrote:

Ok I think i see how to do it.

Hi again,

sorry to bring my issue here but as you know I have to do the login and authorization process in the background with the streamer username/password. I played with the chrome extension "Advanced REST client" trying to figure out how to make it work but I always end up with a error 400 when I try to login with the information: https://gyazo.com/55be51034e7cb0d832fef5687f8ce3dc. Yes I did put my real username and password and used the nounce that I receive with this: https://gyazo.com/5ab42df17318b0bbcc3e4cba2645d059 & https://gyazo.com/17753ba33d062fe3f2b07ea4f2f86d0f I just wonder what could be the issue, am I on the right track or what I am doing is completely useless.

link used to authorize application: https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/oauth2/authorize?client_id=rnqmxy7pouav1famwsj3ty4nnbmpoky&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&response_type=token&scope=channel_subscriptions&state=

Do not ask for other user's passwords. Have them authorize the application.

[int128fly]

It a game plugin that streamers can install on their servers but there is no webhost or website so basically my plugin configuration will ask for their password and username to grant authorization and clear the configuration afterward since it only needed once. it a oxide plugin coded in C#, oxide enforce plugins to be open source (you install the source in the server and it auto compile it)

It just I am limited to this because there is no other way to authorize my application (which will actually be who ever install the plugin will need to create his own twitch application)

NEVER request Twitch user passwords.
