Debugging Twitch API Integration for Glowing Telegram Project - Episode 178
10In this video, I work on integrating Twitch OAuth functionality into the Glowing Telegram project while identifying and resolving issues with token validation. Using Rust for the backend, I dive deep into troubleshooting access token validation, refining the logic to handle user ID and broadcaster ID retrieval, and ensure secure management of tokens within the Secrets Manager. I also share my approach to moving validations from the frontend to the backend for efficiency and scalability.
Throughout the session, I explore various functions, such as the `validate_token` handler, and address issues like error handling, logging, and troubleshooting 401 Unauthorized errors. While updating the backend flow, I further refine code around Twitch API endpoints, implement tracing details, and clarify the container deployment process using AWS CDK to manage and test Lambda functions effortlessly.
By the end, I manage to push the necessary updates and set up logging for easier debugging of issues moving forward. However, the unresolved challenges suggest additional work is needed for streamlining authentication and overall application flow.
