TwitchAPI.Helix.Channels.GetChannelFollowersAsync() returns empty list, but a valid "total" value

[CyberMermaidKometteVT]

When I call GetChannelFollowersAsync(), using the right broadcaster ID with a token with the correct auths, I get an empty list for Data, an empty string under Pagination, but the correct number of total followers in Total. I'm guessing there's a mapping issue? But looking at your codebase that looks solid too?

Make sure your token is a user access token for the broadcaster (or a moderator of channel) with the moderator:read:followers scope

You can check your token scopes via:

curl -X GET "https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/validate" -H "Authorization: OAuth <your-access-token>"

It is - in fact I made the same call with cURL, copy-pasting my authentication information from my running instance, and I got the expected behavior.

What version are you using? Just tested with the latest 3.10 prerelease and 3.9.0 but I can't reproduce the issue. I get back the follower list for the channel just fine.

[CyberMermaidKometteVT]

Hmm, I'm currently running 3.9.0. I'll poke with it further I guess?

Would we expect from a failure state to be getting the Total field filled in correctly as pictured, and no exception?

[Syzuna]

According to Twitch this should only happen if the user access token is missing the moderator:read:followers scope, or the user isn’t the broadcaster or moderator for the channel. You always get the total but not the actual list if you fail authorization. Sadly you don't really get an indicator for that

Have you tried explicitly passing the accessToken parameter for that method? (perhaps you have multiple tokens, and have specified the wrong one)

[CyberMermaidKometteVT]

I only have a single token for the application.

That being said, I've tried explicitly checking both of those things. I've tried manually setting the accessToken, and I've run a cURL command copy-pasting the values from my debugger into the cURL command, including that accessToken, and it works just fine.

Any further thoughts? I'm happy to believe that I'm messing up somehow, somewhere :)

Thanks for y'all's help!
