Chatters — Authentication & permissions

OAuth scopes

The Chatters module uses the following OAuth scopes. The baseline ones are requested when a broadcaster connects their Twitch account; the rest are requested later, the first time the feature that acts with them is set up, so most permissions for a feature you don’t use are never granted.

user:read:email	Identifies the account owner and is used for account linking.	At sign-in
channel:read:subscriptions	Checks subscriber status for subscriber-gated features.	At sign-in
moderator:read:chatters	Lists current chatters in the channel (used for chatter stats).	At sign-in
moderator:read:followers	Reads follower count and individual follow events.	At sign-in
bits:read	Reads bits cheer events and leaderboard data.	At sign-in
user:read:chat	Listens to chat messages via EventSub.	At sign-in
user:bot	Marks the account as a bot so Twitch applies bot rate limits.	At sign-in
user:write:chat	Posts bot responses back to chat.	At sign-in
channel:bot	Allows the account to send chat messages as a bot in this channel.	At sign-in
channel:read:redemptions	Reads channel-point redemption events.	At sign-in
channel:manage:redemptions	Creates, updates, and fulfils custom channel-point rewards.	When you set up the feature
moderator:manage:shoutouts	Sends native Twitch shoutouts on behalf of the channel.	At sign-in

channel:manage:broadcast	Sets the stream category and title for the !game and !title commands.	When you set up the feature

EventSub subscriptions

Every subscription is created with the application access token (Twitch requires it for webhook transport). “Requires” lists the scopes the broadcaster must already have granted before Twitch will create the subscription.

Type	Version	Requires	Condition keys	Description
channel.chat.message	1	user:read:chat, user:bot, channel:bot	broadcaster_user_id, user_id	Every chat message — drives commands, quotes, giveaways and chat-activity counters
stream.online	1	—	broadcaster_user_id	Stream goes live
stream.offline	1	—	broadcaster_user_id	Stream ends
channel.update	2	—	broadcaster_user_id	Channel title/category updated
channel.hype_train.end	2	channel:read:hype_train	broadcaster_user_id	Hype Train ends — records ended_at + cooldown_ends_at for the !hypecheck builtin (consumer only; numbers wants the same row)
user.update	1	—	user_id	Twitch username change — refreshes the module-local channel_name and the Helix name cache (consumer only)
channel.channel_points_custom_reward_redemption.add	1	channel:read:redemptions	broadcaster_user_id	Channel point redemptions — subscribed when the Wheelspin widget carries a redeem trigger; the same broadcaster-wide row rewards creates, so it is additive-only and never deleted by this module
