Nube learning to play with apis

i want to use this ** https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams** endpoint and i wasted about two days setting up authentication before re-re-reading about it and seeing no authentication required and was wondering for the endpoint the only authent i need is to put my id in the header of my ajax and i really don’t understand how to do that and was wondering if anyone had advice or could help,

i appreciate anything

You can refer to the example calls to the right of the docs here

Reference

Failing that provide the code you are using and we can see what needs to be fixed

thank you for that,
i dont really know how to use curl, so i have been using ajax which i am sort of comfortable with for this purpose…
and im pretty sure it needs my client id and my secret which i tried using the ajax built in methods{username:name, password:password} would that not be the right way to go?

ill post up my code in just a second

$(document).ready(function(){

//make sure jquery library is working
$(“p”).append(“hello world”);
//declare stream array
var twitchers=[“dmbrandon”,“MedryBW”,“ESL_SC2”, “OgamingSC2”, “cretetion”, “freecodecamp”, “storbeck”, “habathcx”, “RobotCaleb”, “noobs2ninjas”];
//declare endpoint
var endPoint=“https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_id=”+twitchers;
//declare get method

$.ajax({
//headers:"user-id:my-twitch-id ",
url:endPoint,
dataType: ‘json’,
async:false,
type:‘GET’,
username:“my-twitch-id”,
password:“my-twitch-secret”,
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
},
error:function(error){
console.log("Your ERROR is: "+ error);
}
});

});

Your twitchers contains user_logins, not user_ids.

The secret is only needed in the authorization flow (hitting id.twitch.tv), and only in code running on a server, never in a browser.

Using ajax, the client-id header is sent as

headers: { 'client-id': your_client_id }

var twitchers=[“dmbrandon”,“MedryBW”,“ESL_SC2”, “OgamingSC2”, “cretetion”, “freecodecamp”, “storbeck”, “habathcx”, “RobotCaleb”, “noobs2ninjas”];
//declare endpoint
var endPoint=“https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_id=”+twitchers;

should/could be

var twitchers=[“dmbrandon”,“MedryBW”,“ESL_SC2”, “OgamingSC2”, “cretetion”, “freecodecamp”, “storbeck”, “habathcx”, “RobotCaleb”, “noobs2ninjas”];
//declare endpoint
var endPoint="https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login="+twitchers.join('&user_login=');

As you just pass multiple user_login to the end point

https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=foo&user_login=bar

It’s not a CSV/object

(don’t direct copy paste the " got trashed)
