tokenizer

This application lets you generate a Twitch OAuth token, which is needed for tools like chat bots or other Twitch integrations. It’s designed for those who don’t have a development setup but still want a secure way to authorize their account without relying on third-party services. Your token stays private and is authorized directly through Twitch.

Usage

1. Create a Twitch Application

   Follow the steps in Creating an Application to set up your Twitch application.

3. Enter Required Details

   • Client ID and Client Secret: Input the credentials from your Twitch application.
   • Scopes: Provide the necessary scopes for your integration, separated by spaces. For example, chat:read chat:edit.

4. Authorize in Your Browser

   The application will open a web browser for OAuth authorization. Verify that the requesting application is the one you created.

5. Reuse or Edit Settings

   On subsequent runs, tokenizer will remember your previous input. To update settings, manually edit the configuration files listed.
