Get followers by api via PHP

Hello, can someone help please
How can I get count of user followers
I try this code but 404
Thanks!

<?php
header('Content-Type: application/json');
$videosApi = 'https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/<user_name>/followers';
$clientId = '';
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
        "Accept: application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json",
        'Client-ID: ' . $clientId
    ),
    CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_URL => $videosApi
));

$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
//decode the response
$json = json_decode($response, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
//print response
print_r($json);

Legacy V5 Kraken uses the userID not the username in the Get Followers API

Additionally thats the wrong URL anywah

You want Reference | Twitch Developers

or to upgrade to the latest API see

Thank you
Also one question please
Can I some how use username (not user_id)
(It’s not very comfortable for my task)
Or get this user_id from api and input into GET followers

Use the get Users API to convert a name to an ID

Thank you
So now I Try to get (name to id) but “Invalid OAuth token”
with that code : (I try to put in oauth secret, also i try to get it by this doc https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/authentication/getting-tokens-oauth):

        <?php
        header('Content-Type: application/json');
        $videosApi = 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users?login=pokanoname&login=pokanoname';
        $clientId = client'id';
        $ch = curl_init();

        curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
            CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
                "Accept: application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json",
                'Client-ID: ' . $clientId,
                "Authorization: OAuth oauth_code"
            ),
            CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
            CURLOPT_URL => $videosApi
        ));

        $response = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);

        $json = json_decode($response, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

        print_r($json);

For Helix you don’t need the accept header and the auth token needs the prefix of Bearer


    curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
            'Client-ID: ' . $clientId,
            "Authorization: Bearer oauth_code"
        ),
        CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
        CURLOPT_URL => $videosApi
    ));

Make sure you are generating a token and not using the client secret you can find an example of that here https://github.com/BarryCarlyon/twitch_misc/tree/main/authentication/app_access_tokens/php

I put my Secret and ID but
“Invalid message” (Its on localhost)

That is a PHP error saying that config.php doesn’t exist at the location specified

Ahh Thank you very much! :pray: :pray:
