Use <a href='https://wind-bow.glitch.me' target='_blank'>https://wind-bow.glitch.me/twitch-api</a> instead of twitch's API base URL (i.e. https://api.twitch.tv/kraken ) and you'll still be able to get account information, without needing to sign up for an API key. <strong>UPDATE:</strong> Due to a change in conditions on API usage, Twitch.tv requires an API key, but we've built a workaround.
