Twitch Tokens

In this section we are going to see how to obtain twitch credentials or tokens to be able to use them with our plugin

Prerequisites

• You will need at least one twitch account. Note: If you want a message to appear in your twitch chat when someone activates a reward, you can choose to have another account other than yours speak in the chat, as if it were a chatbot.

Steps

1. We have to make a twitch app, if you already have one you can skip to step 5
2. Login on https://dev.twitch.tv/ with your streamer account. Note: It is necessary to enter with the account with which you are going to stream since only with that account you can see the subscriptions, necessary for the plugin.
3. Now it will go to the next page and it will create an application https://dev.twitch.tv/console/apps
4. In the “Name” section you can put what you want, and in the “OAuth Redirect URLs” section you will put https://twitchtokengenerator.com, finally in the category we will choose Chat Bot.
5. then when the application appears we will click on “Manage” we will copy the Client ID and create a Client Secret.
6. Now we are going to go to https://twitchtokengenerator.com/ and we are going to fill in the Client ID and Client Secret data
7. We will activate all the permissions or at least these permissions:
   • bits:read
   • chat:read
   • channel:read:subscriptions
   • channel:read:redemptions
   • channel:read:hype_train
8. We will give “Generate token!”
9. When we get our credentials we will fill the configuration as shown below.
