Question about api scopes [js jdk]

[snnt]

Hello there

I’ve created simple app for my website, which checks sum of followers of a specific channel on twitch and makes users access to certain area of the websit(ex: if followers count is more than 1000, access is granted). I don’t want to use scope ‘channel_read’ because it tells users, that the ‘streaming key’ will be served to the third-party web and some people may not be happy because of seeing that. Can I get around this somehow? Verification process goes through js then php(twitch api) for double checks etc.

I’m not native speaker, so forgive me if I’ve said something completly wrong

You can check /kraken/channels/:channel/follows with an unauthenticated call: https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/v3_resources/follows.md#get-channelschannelfollows

For verifying a login of a user you could request user_read or even no scope at all and look at the /kraken root for the name of the authenticated user.
