Used to fetch an access token. This can fetch either an app access token or user token (with scopes) and stores for further use. It is important to note that this requires the running of twitchdev configure before it'll fetch tokens. If you don't run configure prior to running token, you will be prompted to configure the application.
IMPORTANT
To use user tokens, you will need to set up your Client ID provided during configure with a redirect URI of http://localhost:3000. App access tokens will work without this step. You can configure that on the Twitch Developer console.
Args
None.
