I currently have two accounts, my main account i stream with and and account created for my Chatbot i built. I would like to move my my chatboth that uses TMI oauth to actually registering an app and getting a correct oauth token with the CLI…
My question is, do i register an app AS my twitch bot account since it will be the main account connecting and interacting? or do i register an app as my main streaming account ? (and does this method tie’s it some how to my bot’s account?)
Currently both accounts have different emails and will hope to consolidate them to use a single email account (not sure if this is relevant to the app registration)
hey @BarryCarlyon thanks for the quick reply, when u say oauth are you talking about Twitch Chat Password Generator or is there another method of obtaining an oauth token without registering an app for a chatbot ?
No I say you create your own clientID, which is your OP… whom owns your clientID.
You should never use someone elses ClientID/token generator for a production application
Basically, you should generate your own ClientID/Application. Whom onws it is generally irrelevant.
My prefence is that I own my clientID’s
Then to create TwitchChat bots I register a Twitch account
Then ue my oAuth flow on my bots website to create a token to login to chat with.
So all BarryBots use the same ClientID but different accounts.
And the clientID is mine
