POST error: Invalid transport

James_Un · January 25, 2021, 12:49pm

Hello,
I am a noobie in programming network-based programms.
I would like to use EventSub in python but I get the following error:
{‘error’: ‘Bad Request’, ‘status’: 400, ‘message’: ‘invalid transport’}
There is already a post about this error, but I didn’t understood the answer.
[EventSub - Trying to send the challenge response]

In python:
url = f"https://api.twitch.tv/helix/eventsub/subscriptions"
headers = {“Client-ID”: self.CLIENT_ID,
“Authorization”: “Bearer 2usysigpkwy25b427d8qz9h9vXXXXX”,
“Content-Type”: “application/json”}
post(url, headers=headers).json()

I don’t have a clue what’s going wrong.
Things I have tried:

Running this command in cmd (same error)
Expose a web server on port 80 using ngrok: ngrok http 443

Thanks in advance.

You seem to have not included a copy of your HTTP Post body for us to debug, so I’m guessing you didn’t send any at all. So that is likely your problem. You didn’t ask for a topic or specify a transport.

Here is a nodeJS example from my github

github.com

BarryCarlyon/twitch_misc/blob/master/channel_points/eventsub/server.js#L327


    console.log(subscriptions_valid);

    for (var topic in subscriptions_valid) {
        if (!subscriptions_valid[topic]) {
            console.log('Create', topic, subscriptions_to_make[topic]);
            createSubscription(topic, subscriptions_to_make[topic]);
        }
    }
}

function createSubscription(type, thing) {
    var condition = {};
    condition[thing] = broadcaster_id;

    var json = {
        type,
        version: "1",
        condition,
        transport: {
            method: 'webhook',
            callback: app_access_token.callback_url,

Relevant snippet

    var json = {
        type,
        version: "1",
        condition,
        transport: {
            method: 'webhook',
            callback: 'some url',
            secret: 'some jibberish'
        }
    };

Hello, pls , help me too. I make:

 method: 'POST',
  url: 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/eventsub/subscriptions',
  headers:
   { 'Client-ID': '{{MY_CLIENT_ID}}',
     Authorization: 'Bearer {{APP_AUTH_TOKEN}}' },
  responseType: 'text',
  data: '{{challenge}}'

See line 72/77 and 80 of

github.com

BarryCarlyon/twitch_misc/blob/master/channel_points/eventsub/server.js

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

const got = require('got');

const client_config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.join(
    __dirname,
    '..',
    'jsons',
    'config_client.json'
)));
const account_config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.join(
    __dirname,
    '..',

)));
const app_access_token = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.join(

You are not replying to the challenge correctly.

You don’t send a POST request you just echo out the body.

Can you pls help me one more time. I still don’t understand. How to make it on Node.js?

BarryCarlyon · February 15, 2021, 10:36pm

I literally linked your a node.js example of a server application…

and

Are both node.js examples of an EventSub Server

Kolyall · February 15, 2021, 11:07pm

Thanks, understood. I just need to make answer(response) string encodeURIComponent(req.body.challenge) for POST request from twitch

BarryCarlyon · February 15, 2021, 11:07pm

Correct
