Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Twitch Streams Search Scraper Search live Twitch streams with flexible filters. Extract stream titles, games, usernames, viewer counts, tags, thumbnails, and profile images with automatic pagination. ### Key Features - Search by title, username, game, tags, and viewer range - Filter by broadcaster type and language - Support regex filters for username and game names - Include or exclude tags with optional "all tags" matching - Sort by viewers, start time, or online duration - Automatic pagination until max results reached - Optional proxy configuration ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | search | string | No | Search stream titles | | username | string | No | Filter by username | | useUsernameRegex | boolean | No | Use regex for username | | games | string | No | Game names, comma-separated | | useRegex | boolean | No | Use regex for game names | | tags | string | No | Tags, comma-separated | | includeAllTags | boolean | No | Require all specified tags | | excludeTags | string | No | Exclude tags, comma-separated | | broadcasterType | string | No | `normal`, `affiliate`, or `partner` | | language | string | No | Language code, e.g. `en` | | sortOrder | string | No | Sort order (default: most viewers) | | minViewers | integer | No | Minimum viewers | | maxViewers | integer | No | Maximum viewers | | maxItems | integer | No | Max streams to scrape (default: 100) | | proxyConfiguration | object | No | Proxy settings | #### Input Example ```json { "tags": "chill, cozy", "language": "en", "sortOrder": "viewCountDesc", "minViewers": 10, "maxItems": 100 } ```` ### Output Each stream is saved as one dataset record: ```json { "rank": 1, "totalStreamsFound": 2662, "title": "⚔️TBC PVP HYPE Warrior | Nightslayer Classic Anni", "streamUrl": "https://www.twitch.tv/speedstertaxi", "thumbnail": "https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/previews-ttv/live_user_speedstertaxi-320x180.jpg", "profileImage": "https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/jtv_user_pictures/...-profile_image-300x300.png", "game": "World of Warcraft", "username": "speedstertaxi", "language": "en", "broadcasterType": "affiliate", "viewers": 22, "tags": ["worldofwarcraft", "classic", "pvp"], "started": "2 hour(s) 19 minute(s) ago", "profileUrl": "https://www.twitch.tv/speedstertaxi", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-01T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Use Cases - Live stream discovery and monitoring - Competitor and niche research - Tag and category trend analysis - Influencer and community outreach # Actor input Schema ## `search` (type: `string`): Search stream titles ## `username` (type: `string`): Filter by Twitch username ## `useUsernameRegex` (type: `boolean`): Treat username as a regular expression ## `games` (type: `string`): Filter by game names, comma-separated ## `useRegex` (type: `boolean`): Treat game names as a regular expression ## `tags` (type: `string`): Filter by tags, comma-separated ## `includeAllTags` (type: `boolean`): Require streams to include all specified tags ## `excludeTags` (type: `string`): Exclude streams with these tags, comma-separated ## `broadcasterType` (type: `string`): Filter by broadcaster type ## `language` (type: `string`): Filter by stream language ## `sortOrder` (type: `string`): Sort order for results ## `minViewers` (type: `integer`): Minimum viewer count ## `maxViewers` (type: `integer`): Maximum viewer count ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of streams to scrape ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for the actor ## Actor input object example ```json { "search": "", "username": "", "useUsernameRegex": false, "games": "", "useRegex": false, "tags": "", "includeAllTags": false, "excludeTags": "", "broadcasterType": "", "language": "", "sortOrder": "viewCountDesc", "minViewers": 0, "maxViewers": 0, "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
