Chatbot setting stream title

API
#1

Hello everyone.
I’m trying to get my chatbot to set the title of a stream via chat commands.
I registered the application with the scopes channel_editor and user_subscriptions and got the authtoken it returned. Accessing the subscriptions with a get-request works, but everytime I try to set the streamtitle it returns a 401. I should have permission to do this though.

For the bot I use Java and this is the code snipped thats supposed to change the title.

	String url = "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/<name>?oauth:<token>";
    URL obj = new URL(url);
    HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();

    conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/vnd.twitchtv.v2+json");
    conn.setRequestMethod("PUT");
    conn.setDoOutput(true);
      
    String data = "channel[status]=Please+work!&channel[game]=Something";
    OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
    out.write(data);
    out.flush();

    for (Entry<String, List<String>> header : conn.getHeaderFields().entrySet()) {
        System.out.println(header.getKey() + "=" + header.getValue());
    }

Am I doing something wrong?

String url = "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/<name>?oauth:<token>";

should be

String url = "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/<name>?oauth_token=<token>";

to start with.

I can’t figure it out. I’m trying to get it running for over a week now but I don’t even know whats wrong.
I just get this as response:

Are you setting conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");?
