# Verify Twitch social link

`POST /v1/account/social/verify/twitch`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.grove.city` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.grove.city/v1/account/social/verify/twitch`
- Auth: none declared

Verify ownership of a Twitch social link using an OAuth 2.0 access token.

**Flow:**
1. Client obtains a Twitch OAuth 2.0 access token via authorization code flow
2. Client sends the token to this endpoint
3. API validates the token against Twitch's `GET /helix/users` endpoint
4. If the returned username matches the account's existing Twitch social link, it's marked as verified

**Prerequisites:**
- Account must have a Twitch social link already added (via `POST /v1/account/social-links`)
- Client must have a valid Twitch OAuth 2.0 access token

**Idempotent:** Calling this on an already-verified Twitch link returns success.

Authentication: `Authorization: Bearer <CLIENT_JWT>`

## Headers

- `authorization` string, nullable: Bearer JWT issued by Grove that identifies the account.
