Talk to Twitch api

[thePlebDev]

Proposed change

• make a successful request to the Twitch API

Why is this important

• This is just the beginning but I want to just make a successful communication with the twitch api

Additional context

• n/a

[thePlebDev]

• I lied, we will actually be using GET https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams that endpoint. More information about it can be found, HERE
• That endpoint requires an app access token OR user access token.

• Ok so, I lied. To get the app_access_token, which is needed when a user is not logged in, we need to use the Client credentials grant flow. This has the downside of needing to use our client_secret, meaning that in order for our app to be secure, it needs to use a reverse proxy server
• To get a user_access_token, which is needed to determine if the user is logged in. We use the Implicit grant flow, Which has the benefit of not needing a client secret.
