Nightbot able to update stream info with user_read scope?

[kevdnv]

I noticed Nightbot is able to update people’s stream titles and games using the user_read scope with channel_editor? I have tried the same but end up having to use channel_read for it to work. I wouldn’t mind using channel_read but it asks that a user gives permission for the app to also view their stream key when authenticating which is something my app does not require.

You only need channel_editor to modify title and game via v5 API.

$ curl -s -H 'Authorization: OAuth -snip-' \
   -H 'Accept: application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json' \
