Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

"just". implementing anything regarding oauth2 is not necessarily a trivial task.

#

typicall a token, or "access token" is a random string that you get from the Authentication server after authenticating to an oauth service in some fashion

#

no need to apologize 🙂

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

(use the link)

#

no, use the link above. paste your code there, save it, and then share the new link here.

#

doesn't really matter. it seems you need to copy the url you get redirected to after Authorizing access.

#

and paste it into the terminal

#

usually you get redirected to a webserver that you control...

#

no

#

authorizing is when you click the "accept' button on your browser

#

or whatever the button is called

#

"authorizing" literally just means "giving permission" to something

#

no, when you click that, you get redirected to another URL

#

and the URL you need to copy and paste into your terminal.

#

you should see that message in your terminal

#

no. can't

#

the one you get redirected to after accepting

#

I don't know what you put in as redirect url

#

I know you're not trolling

#

nope, it should never be a url of some domain that you don't own

#

use http://localhost for now

#

and make sure to input the exact same url in the code at the top

#

no

#

at the top

#

there as a variable name REDIRECT_URI or something like that

#

make sure it containst the exact same url (in quotes)

#

yes

#

you also need to insert your client id and secret you got from your developer portal website thingy, but don't share those

#

you didn't do what I said 🙂

#

yes. usually you don't need to login if you're already logged in.. .but I guess you need to login if not already happened

#

not .com, but yea.

#

you copy that entire link you're on now, and paste it into your terminal

#

👍

#

it should have printed some "User Info: ..." as well?

#

yea, it mesan it works.

#

the script is however just an example of how to do stuff with oauth2

#

access tokens are used to access your data on twitch

#

you gave the script permission to access some of your data (the scopes at the very top), and it received an access token to do just that.

#

not sure. where did you get that url from?

#

can't find it in the API docs

#

naturally. if you just made it up, there is a good chance it's wrong

#

and looking in the docs, there doesn't even seem to be follow api

#

no

#

a token is tied to a user

#

so if anything you may be able to make yourself follow some streamer

#

you can.t make others follow you

#

yea no

#

I'm gonna stop you there

#

that's 100% against twitch TOS

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

#

not gonna help you with that. sorry. 🙂 and it's also not possible with the API anyway.

#

(I also have a nagging feeling, your "friend" is actually called chatgpt)

#

<@&831776746206265384>

#

I doubt you can achieve what you're trying with the API anyway

#

the only thing you got with that is access to your own account.

#

sure you are.

#

No.

#

I dont' care

#

hardly.
