I am trying to get an oauth token from Twitch, and with this code:
import dotenv from 'dotenv';
dotenv.config();
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
let creds = {
client_id:process.env.CLIENT_ID,
client_secret:process.env.CLIENT_SECRET,
grant_type:"client_credentials"
};
let request = {
method:'POST',
header:{ "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body:creds
};
console.log(request);
fetch(process.env.AUTH_URL,request)
.then (res => res.text())
.then (text => console.log(text))
With my secret and client id where appropriate. However it keeps returning:
{"status":400,"message":"missing client id"}
What am I doing wrong?
You need to stringify the body before sending it and headers instead of header.
let request = {
method:'POST',
headers:{ "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body:JSON.stringify(creds)
};
Also, maybe use res.json() instead because the return data maybe json.
fetch(process.env.AUTH_URL,request)
.then (res => res.json())
.then (text => console.log(text))
