"""Use the Switch Tube web service API to list channels you can contribute to.

Assuming the access token `Hbmqqdc8x49Qjk1L3BKBAec`, list the channels you
can contribute to:

    $ python3 list-channels.py Hbmqqdc8x49Qjk1L3BKBAec

This script is intended to illustrate usage of the Switch Tube web service API
and is provided “as is”. Please see https://tube.switch.ch/api.html for more
information.

It depends on the Requests HTTP library. On most systems, this can be installed
using `python3 -m pip install requests`.

In case of a "SSLCertVerificationError", run `pip install --upgrade certifi` to
update the CA bundle.
