Enhancement: Device Code Authorization Flow Support

Open sugoidogo opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

Summary

https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/authentication/getting-tokens-oauth/#device-code-grant-flow

Twitch has added a new authentication flow which allows refreshing tokens without a client secret, but it seems TwitchIO cannot be used without a client secret at all, which makes it unusable for any client-side software. Supporting the device code authorization flow would enable TwitchIO for use on client-side applications.

Hey, thanks for request. This was previously discussed and was going to be supported, I am not sure what stopped us implementing this at the time but it should be included in the next release 3.1.

This has been moved back to v3.2 due to the size of v3.1.
