Please let me know if this is not possible...but in an effort to refactor my personal API I decided to start calling the Twitch endpoints through my API so data can be combined. To do this I direct the user to the auth page and get a bearer token back. I then pass that token to my API in the header. For some reason I get a 401 if I try to use that token at all from my API. I have no idea why as I can't view a reason in the response. The token works from postman.
Here is an example of a request I make in my API:
public async Task<bool> ValidateToken()
{
var response = await client.GetAsync("https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/validate");
return response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK;
}
The HttpClient is created as follows before the validation method is called:
public TwitchService(IHeaderDictionary headers)
{
StringValues token;
StringValues clientId;
var hasToken = headers.TryGetValue("Authorization", out token);
var hasClientId = headers.TryGetValue("Client-id", out clientId);
client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "application/json");
if (hasToken)
{
var authToken = token.ToString().Replace("Bearer", "");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", authToken);
}
if (hasClientId)
{
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Client-ID", clientId.ToString());
}
}
