What is the Twitch Scraper?

The Twitch Scraper is an Apify actor that pulls metadata from Twitch clips, VODs (video-on-demand), and channels. Drop in a list of URLs (channel pages, clip URLs, VOD URLs) and get back clean JSON: title, duration, view count, game/category, streamer, upload date, formats, thumbnail. No video download — pure metadata extraction for analytics, archiving, and creator-economy research.

The most efficient way to track Twitch creators at scale without using the gated Twitch API.

Use cases

• Multi-platform creator analytics — combine Twitch with YouTube and Kick data.
• Content highlights archiving — full-channel VOD metadata snapshot for legal or research.
• Migration tracking — measure how a streamer's viewership changed after a platform move.

FAQ — Twitch API alternatives

Twitch official API? Yes but it's gated (requires app registration, OAuth, quota). This scraper is no-auth, no-quota.

Live-stream metadata? For active live streams, channel URLs return the live snapshot (title, viewer count, current game).

Clip support? Yes — clip URLs work alongside VOD URLs; the actor detects type automatically.

Why not yt-dlp? yt-dlp returns raw metadata; this actor normalizes the schema across content types and adds Apify dataset structure for analytics.
