Using @discordjs/rest to make requests using Bearer access token

Is it possible to use the rest functions to fetch data for users with their OAuth access_token? Currently I've tried the following, the only option I got working was with a self made API call, I was wondering if I could utilize the REST class instead. DISCORD_CLIENT_TOKEN is the token for my bot/application accessToken is the bearer token for the user

const rest = new REST({ version: "10" }).setToken(DISCORD_CLIENT_TOKEN);
const rest2 = new REST({ version: "10" }).setToken(accessToken);

// Returns guilds for the application and not the user that the access token is for
const guilds = await rest.get(Routes.userGuilds(), {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
  },
});

// DiscordAPIError[0]: 401: Unauthorized
const guilds2 = await rest2.get(Routes.userGuilds(), {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
  },
});

// Error: Cannot use relative URL (/users/@me/guilds) with global fetch — use `event.fetch` instead: https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/web-standards#fetch-apis
const guilds3 = await fetch(Routes.userGuilds(), {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
  },
}).then((res) => res.json());

// This works
const guilds4 = await fetch("https://discord.com/api/users/@me/guilds", {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
  },
}).then((res) => res.json());

const rest = new REST({ version: "10" }).setToken(DISCORD_CLIENT_TOKEN);
const rest2 = new REST({ version: "10" }).setToken(accessToken);

// Returns guilds for the application and not the user that the access token is for
const guilds = await rest.get(Routes.userGuilds(), {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
  },
});

// DiscordAPIError[0]: 401: Unauthorized
const guilds2 = await rest2.get(Routes.userGuilds(), {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
  },
});

// Error: Cannot use relative URL (/users/@me/guilds) with global fetch — use `event.fetch` instead: https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/web-standards#fetch-apis
const guilds3 = await fetch(Routes.userGuilds(), {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
  },
}).then((res) => res.json());

// This works
const guilds4 = await fetch("https://discord.com/api/users/@me/guilds", {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
  },
}).then((res) => res.json());

how would I go about making the requests use the users bearer token with that? I can't find a way to configure it to do that, this results in a 401 as well

const rest = new REST({
  version: "10",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
  },
}).setToken(accessToken);
const api = new API(rest);

let guilds = await api.users.getGuilds();

const rest = new REST({
  version: "10",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
  },
}).setToken(accessToken);
const api = new API(rest);

let guilds = await api.users.getGuilds();

Try removing the headers option and use authPrefix: 'Bearer' instead.

oh perfect, thank you! this works now 😄

const rest = new REST({
  version: "10",
  authPrefix: "Bearer",
}).setToken(accessToken);
const api = new API(rest);

let guilds= await api.users.getGuilds();

const rest = new REST({
  version: "10",
  authPrefix: "Bearer",
}).setToken(accessToken);
const api = new API(rest);

let guilds= await api.users.getGuilds();
