How to pass an access token type Bearer in URL

API
1

Hi,
I want to get the json return by the URL “https://api.twitch.tv/helix/channels”.
So by using Curl all is good and the json is return but not when I’m sending the URL in Internet Explorer.

Could you help me please ?

Here the url that I’m sending but didn’t work :
“https://api.twitch.tv/helix/channels?broadcaster_id=88301612&client_id=myClientId&Authorization=Bearer%20myAccessToken”
Thanks.

Helix doesn’t support passing the token and clientID as query string paramters.

They need to be sent via header. Which you can’t (normally) do via Internet Explorer

You either need a header injector plugin

or to use an API testing program such as Insomnia or postman.

it doesn’t work, as it’s not supported

Okay i’m starting in web dev and i didn’t know it.
Thanks a lot.
