Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Twitch account or API key? No. The actor uses the same public GraphQL endpoint Twitch's own website calls, with the standard web Client-ID. No signup, no developer app, no OAuth required.

Do I need a proxy? No. The Twitch public GraphQL API is open to datacenter IPs. No proxy cost to you.

What formats does output come in? JSON, CSV, Excel via the Apify dataset. Native integration with n8n, Make, Zapier.

What if a channel returns empty or is not found? The actor logs channel_not_found and continues to the next channel in the list — no crash, no charge for the missing channel.

Technical notes

• Uses the official Twitch public web GraphQL endpoint (gql.twitch.tv/gql) with the standard public web Client-ID — no API key signup required.
• Videos: fetches up to 100 VODs per channel in a single request (no pagination needed for most use cases).
• parse_confidence (0.0–1.0) and warnings in every row provide machine-readable quality signals.

Integrations

Built for gaming market researchers and influencer-marketing platforms benchmarking channel reach, live status, and VOD archives — the JSON/dataset output drops into the tools you already run, no glue code:

• n8n / Make / Zapier — trigger a run or pipe every new dataset item into 500+ apps (Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, HubSpot, your database) with no code: n8n, Make, Zapier.
• Webhooks — fire your own endpoint the moment a run finishes, to push results straight into your pipeline (docs).
• MCP server — expose this actor as a tool to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client so an AI agent can pull this data mid-conversation (guide).
• API & SDKs — fetch the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel through the Apify REST API or the Python / JS SDKs.
