Twitch Viewer used to work, did something change?

Hey, if you add your client-id (from Twitch) in the header of your request, everything works fine.

Cool! I have read a little and everybody was falling in that hole :))))

Thanx!

Just got to this thread. I was really bothered that my twitch app wasn’t working anymore. I’m also just about to finish my tic-tac-toe app… totally agree with the algorithms… I must have rewritten or revised my computer brain/AI numerous times. I thought I was done last weekend when I accidentally found a loophole to beat the computer… just a couple of styling and animations left and I’m done. I guess I won’t be adding too much flair to the app anymore if it’s just gonna be a bonus now…will just stick with the basic functions…

Just a question… so if the twitch app will be a bonus… I guess I don’t have to go back and try to make it work again (it already worked before when I originally submitted it)? I was concerned when it stopped working actually if it would keep me from getting a certificate? So I should just leave the app as is for now? I have only tic-tac-toe (only css left to do) and then the simon game… but I wonder if I should just wait for the new projects? Thanks again.

@QuincyLarson would be the right person to answer this question, but I can assure you that updating the twitch app to use API key won’t take long - it is basically one line of code.

@jenovs Oh oki thanks!.. I’ll just book mark this thread so I can get back to it before submitting my last project and getting the certificate. Will finish the the last 2 projects first. Twitch might end up adding something again…

Hi, I’m currently re coding my twitch api… it also stopper working… I can’t seem to get a client-id? when I scroll to the settings options and register apps for develepers under ā€œothersā€ nothing shows up? only the recommended apps like blizzard and facebook? how did you get to the client-id? or am I missing a step? I’m following the instructions on this page…

Any advice would be most aprpeciated. Thanks

If you go here https://www.twitch.tv/settings/connections and scroll down to the bottom. It should have a button with something like ā€œRegister your applicationā€. Maybe you can try another browser?

Hi, that’s where I first went… didn’t see any options to register any app. Says I din’t have any to register… but at the chat rooms I found help and a link here… for anyone who might have faced similar problems finding a register link…

first eh gitHub link:

This then sends me to an applications link where I was able to finally register (that’s when the app showed up on my settings page)…
