C# Update Game & Title forbidden

[Just1n]

Hello, I want to update the title and the game in C#, but I get the error forbidden.
Here’s my C# httpClient code:

    using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
            {
                using (var request = new HttpRequestMessage(new HttpMethod("PUT"), "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/" + Settings.Default.ChannelID))
                {
                    request.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Accept", "application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json");
                    request.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Authorization", "OAuth " + Settings.Default.ChannelToken);
                    request.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Client-ID", Settings.Default.ClientID);

                    request.Content = new StringContent("{\"channel\": {\"status\": \"Test\", \"game\": \"Overwatch\", \"channel_feed_enabled\": true}}", Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");

                    var response = await httpClient.SendAsync(request);
                    Console.WriteLine(response.StatusCode);
                }
            }

The channelID, OAuth token and client id is saved in the application settings, and it shouldn’t be a problem, because the TwitchLib library works perfectly fine.
I printed out the variables in the console and none of the variables is empty.

Thanks in advance

Did you get a body with your response?

It should provide error information

[Just1n]

I’m fairly new to C# so… can you explain how I do that?
I tried it using this command:
var body = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
Console.WriteLine(body);

But the response is

????D?K
?0D?"?."??x?@?6~@-??J???*.g^?,?-:’?b-?P???6U???f?tr?K(#?X??,k\ab?K?????a>????????e?P???

The commands var body = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); and var body = response.Content; doesn’t tell me anything interesting.

You need to enable GZIP compression.

That response hasn’t been ungzipped.

At a guess, that usually looks like the authorisation error, which means the oAuth key you used doesn’t have the required scopes to update the channel

Which for:

Reference

Is channel_editor scope

[Just1n]

Oh yes sorry, I forgot to tell about that. I already visited that link (actually I’m using the public documentation all the time) and I also saw I need that scope.
That’s my request url:

https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=“myClientID”&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8243&scope=chat:read+chat:edit+channel:moderate+user_read+channel_editor

That should be fine, or am I wrong? The channel_editor scope is also included.

[BarryCarlyon]

Get GZIP compression enabled for your call (to update the channel) and you’ll be able to read the error body response.

You can also totally remove channel_feed_enabled from your JSON as the feed is dead/removed feature, it’s just in the docs for completeness

If you call channel_feed_enabled you need channel_editor from the channel you are trying to update.

Otherwise

You need a key with channel_editor on for YOU and YOU are also an editor on the target channel.
-OR-
You need a key with channel_editor on for the channel you wish to update.

Unless you are trying to update your own personal channel, I anticipate you have the wrong owner of the key

[Just1n]

Ok well… looks like that was the problem…
I removed the channel_feed_enabled from the json and it looks like it’s working now. Thank you very much! I spent my last view hours with that problem
You saved me! Thank you
