[QUESTION] How do I handle required scopes?

[dialogik]

I am (currently) just using it for my own purposes. I followed your recommendation with the implicit flow and it worked. Thanks a lot.

Hi!

The way Twitch's EventSub system works is that authorization is handled internally and tied to a client id. So, you'll have to authorize your client to have access to that scope. If you are unfamiliar with this, you can check out the doc here.

If you are using TESjs for personal use it should be as simple as using the OAuth Implicit Grant Flow. Just build yourself a URL with your client id and localhost as your redirect uri (make sure it is registered on dev.twitch.tv for your application's OAuth Redirect URLs). If you are creating a service that other people can use, you'll have to set up your authentication similarly for that as well, but with some sort of user-facing website (using whatever authorization flow makes sense for your app). Once your app has been authenticated with the correct scopes for whatever you need, it'll be good to go!

Hopefully this helps!
