PHP get Twitch account stream key

I would like to know how I get and generate a new stream key from my twitch.tv account.

$clientId = "";
$clientSecret = "";
$channelName = "";
$channelId = "";

$url = "https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token";
$data = array(
    "client_id" => $clientId,
    "client_secret" => $clientSecret,
    "grant_type" => "client_credentials"
);

$options = array(
    "http" => array(
        "header" => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
        "method" => "POST",
        "content" => http_build_query($data),
    ),
);

$context = stream_context_create($options);
$response = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
$data = json_decode($response, true);
$accessToken = $data["access_token"];

// ...

I already got the access token, but I don't know which url to access to get or generate a new key in my account...

I tried to get the Twitch stream key via API and failed.

You must make sure you're using the user access token and not the app access token.

there is an endpoint for getting the stream key: Get Stream Key. This endpoint returns the channel’s stream key. You need to pass your channel ID as a parameter and use your access token as a header. The URL for this endpoint is:

https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams/key?broadcaster_id={channelId}

You can use the following code snippet to call this endpoint and get your stream key:

$url = "https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams/key?broadcaster_id=" . $channelId;
$headers = [
    "Authorization: Bearer " . $accessToken,
    "Client-Id: " . $clientId
];

$options = [
    "http" => [
        "header" => implode("\r\n", $headers),
        "method" => "GET"
    ]
];

$context = stream_context_create($options);
$response = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
$data = json_decode($response, true);
$streamKey = $data["data"][0]["stream_key"];
