Are you specifying "?response_type=token" ? After authorizing, the user will be returned to you with an access_token (oauth token) in the document fragment (doc fragments are not sent to servers as part of the GET request, so you'll have to use JavaScript to check window.location and pull it out)

Does Twitch.tv API support "code authorization"? (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-31#section-4.1)

It's a web-application using Twitch.tv where i would like user to bind his Twitch.tv account to account in application on a long-term basis.

And i'd like authorization logic to be server-side.

I managed to retrieve the code but i couldn't find URL to send "access token request" to. (section 4.1.3 of the link above).

No, we don't support code auth at the moment. Access tokens don't expire unless the user explicitly revokes your permissions, so you can use it long-term. If you send the token to your app from the callback page, you can do all your auth server-side.
