No login, no cookies, no proxy required.

What this actor does

• Seven modes: channel, game, topStreamers, topGames, topSubscribers, language, siteStatistics
• Channel analytics: rank, average/peak viewers, hours watched, followers gained (30 days), total followers, current/paid/gifted active subscribers, all-time high subscribers, partner/affiliate status
• Game/category analytics: average viewers, average channels, rank, hours watched — by name or numeric Twitch category ID
• Leaderboards: top streamers (8 sort orders, 35 language filters, personality/esports category filter), top games, and top subscribers (current or all-time peak), with pagination
• Language stats: live viewers, 7-day average viewers/channels, top live streams and top channels for any tracked language
• Empty fields are omitted — every field in the output is real data; nothing is ever a placeholder

Output: per-channel (mode = channel)

• channelName, displayName
• channelId — TwitchTracker's internal channel ID
• avatarUrl, bannerUrl
• language, createdAt — Twitch account creation date
• partnerStatus — Partner or Affiliate (omitted if neither)
• rank — TwitchTracker's algorithmic rank based on the trailing 30 days
• avgViewers, maxViewers, minutesStreamed, hoursStreamed, hoursWatched
• followersGained30d — can be negative if unfollows outpaced new follows
• followersTotal
• currentActiveSubs, paidActiveSubs, giftedActiveSubs, allTimeHighActiveSubs
• twitchUrl, sourceUrl
• recordType: "channel", scrapedAt

Channels with no streaming activity in the last 30 days (e.g. retired streamers) will be missing the rank/avgViewers/hoursWatched/followers* fields — the record still includes every profile field (subs, language, avatar, etc.) that TwitchTracker can populate.

Output: per-game (mode = game)

• gameId (when looked up by numeric ID) or gameName (when looked up by name)
• avgViewers, avgChannels, rank, hoursWatched — trailing 30 days
• twitchCategoryUrl — Twitch's own category directory page (only when the game was looked up by name)
• sourceUrl
• recordType: "game", scrapedAt

Output: per-streamer row (mode = topStreamers)

• channelName, displayName, avatarUrl
• rank — overall algorithmic rank; sortPosition — position within the requested sort order
• avgViewers, timeStreamedHours, allTimePeakViewers, hoursWatched, followersGained30d, followersTotal, totalViews
• currentGame, liveViewers, gameSharePercent, viewershipSharePercent — only present when sortBy: live (a real-time snapshot instead of the 30-day leaderboard)
• leaderboardSort, languageFilter, categoryFilter — the filters actually applied to this row
• twitchUrl, sourceUrl
• recordType: "streamer", scrapedAt

Output: per-game row (mode = topGames)

• rank, gameId (omitted for Twitch's uncategorized "Variety" bucket), gameName, boxArtUrl
• avgViewers, weeklyChangePercent (signed — negative means viewership dropped), twitchSharePercent
• twitchCategoryUrl, sourceUrl
• recordType: "game", scrapedAt

Output: per-channel row (mode = topSubscribers)

• rank, channelName, displayName, avatarUrl
• currentActiveSubs, paidActiveSubs, primeActiveSubs, giftedActiveSubs, tier1ActiveSubs, tier2ActiveSubs, tier3ActiveSubs — only when subSortBy: current (the default)
• allTimePeakActiveSubs, achievementDate, currentActiveSubs, isActiveStreamer — only when subSortBy: allTime
• subscriberSort, languageFilter (current only — TwitchTracker doesn't support combining the all-time leaderboard with a language filter)
• twitchUrl, sourceUrl
• recordType: "subscriberLeaderboard", scrapedAt

Output: per-language aggregate (mode = language)

• language
• liveViewers, avgViewers7d, liveChannels, avgChannels7d
• topLiveStreams[] — up to 10 entries: channelName, displayName, avatarUrl, viewers, twitchUrl
• topChannelsByViewership[] — up to 10 entries with the same shape
• sourceUrl
• recordType: "language", scrapedAt

Output: site-wide statistics (mode = siteStatistics)

One record per run, shaped by the requested statCategory:

• statCategory — the category that was fetched
• overview: liveViewers, avgViewers7d, liveChannels, avgChannels7d
• viewers: liveViewers, avgViewers24h, avgViewers7d, allTimePeakViewers, allTimePeakViewersDate

• Esports & agency scouting — find rising or top-ranked streamers by category and language
• Market research — track which games are gaining or losing Twitch viewership week over week
• Localization strategy — see which languages/regions have the most active Twitch audiences
• Competitive intelligence — compare average viewers, peak viewers, and follower growth across channels
• Content calendars — identify the best-performing games and streamers to inform sponsorship decisions

Limitations

TwitchTracker's /clips (curated clip gallery) page renders its grid entirely from a client-side data blob (there's no server-rendered clip data or documented API for it), so it isn't exposed as a mode. The /statistics/* pages' historical trend charts are similarly client-rendered from a proprietary compressed blob and aren't exposed, but their static top-line current/24h/7-day/all-time figures are — via mode: siteStatistics. Every other tabular/JSON-backed surface on the site (channel profiles, game/category summaries, the 8 top-streamer leaderboard sorts, top games, current + all-time subscriber leaderboards, per-language aggregate stats, and site-wide statistics) is fully supported.

FAQ

What is TwitchTracker? An independent, long-running analytics site that tracks Twitch channel and game statistics going back years, including historical rank, viewership, and subscriber trends not exposed by Twitch itself.

Why do some channels have fewer fields than others? TwitchTracker's 30-day analytics (rank, average/peak viewers, hours watched, followers gained) require the channel to have streamed within the last 30 days. Inactive channels still return every profile field TwitchTracker can populate (subscriber counts, language, avatar, account creation date, partner status).

Why can followersGained30d be negative? It's the net follower change over the trailing 30 days — new followers minus unfollows. Large or declining channels can show a negative number.

What's the difference between rank and sortPosition on a topStreamers row? rank is TwitchTracker's overall algorithmic rank across all of Twitch. sortPosition is the row's position within whichever leaderboard you requested via sortBy — these differ whenever sortBy isn't ranking.

Why do sortBy: live rows look different from the others? The live leaderboard is a real-time snapshot of who's currently streaming (current game, live viewer count, share of that game's viewers), not a 30-day aggregate — so fields like hoursWatched and followersGained30d don't apply and are omitted.

Can I combine language and category filters on the leaderboard? Yes for most sort orders. The live sort order only supports one filter at a time; if both are supplied, the actor automatically drops the category filter and reports which filter was actually applied on each record via languageFilter/categoryFilter.

Do I need to know a game's numeric Twitch category ID? No — gameNames accepts either the human-readable name (e.g. Just Chatting) or the numeric ID (e.g. 509658); both resolve to the same analytics.

How fresh is the data? TwitchTracker recalculates its 30-day and 7-day rolling statistics daily; leaderboards and live snapshots reflect current data at the time of the run.

What's the difference between subSortBy: current and allTime on topSubscribers? current ranks channels by their active subscriber count right now (with a breakdown of paid/prime/gifted/tier splits); allTime ranks channels by the highest active-subscriber count they've ever reached, along with the month that peak happened and whether the channel is still active. TwitchTracker doesn't support combining allTime with a language filter, so language is ignored (and never included on the record) when subSortBy: allTime.

Is a proxy or login required? No. The actor reads TwitchTracker's publicly accessible pages and JSON endpoints directly — no authentication, cookies, or paid proxy needed.

Is this affiliated with TwitchTracker or Twitch? No, this is a third-party actor using TwitchTracker's publicly accessible pages and endpoints. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by TwitchTracker or Twitch.

What does mode: siteStatistics give me that topStreamers/topGames don't? It's Twitch-wide, not per-channel or per-game: total live viewers/channels right now, 24-hour/7-day averages, all-time peaks (with the date/month they happened), and month-to-date totals for streamers, stream hours, and watch hours. Use it to track overall platform trends rather than any single channel or game.
