Twitch API problems

[babadoctor]

Hi

 

I am trying to write a script to interact with Twitch's API, and I am having a lot of problems.

I couldn't get the script to work, no matter how much I read the documentation...

 

 

What it was supposed to accomplish:

•  Get VOD ID's of streams that were streamed in the last 24 hours.
•  Pass that to a bash variable (I know how to do this part)

 

I have tried this so far:

I also tried following this tutorial, to no avail:

https://www.johannesbader.ch/2014/01/find-video-url-of-twitch-tv-live-streams-or-past-broadcasts/ 

 

 

Documentation I have read so far:

https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/videos/ 

https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/channels/#get-channel-videos

https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/channels/

http://archive.is/JfofO (I don't know why this webpage was deleted from github, but I archived the google cache)

 

 

Other links I have visited that may help

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28412218/get-latest-youtube-and-twitch-video-url-from-channel-js-jquery

 

 

I also took a wget approach

https://opendata.stackexchange.com/questions/4851/exclusion-lists-when-crawling-web-directories

This was fruitless too

 

 

Can anyone help me...? Please...

The only thing I can see wrong with that is where you're sending your request (if you're using the right oAuth token). The twitch API endpoint is at api.twitch.tv/kraken not api.twitch.tv/api. So to get the info about the channel you would use https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/<channel ID> where channel id is represented as the new numerical id rather than the username. To do this you can query the users endpoint using the username, and that will return the numerical client id
