🎮 Twitch Scraper: channels, live streams, clips and games

Get live Twitch channel stats, viewer counts, and top clips ready for your spreadsheet in under 60 seconds. No login, no account, no waiting for approval.

🔍 What does the Twitch Scraper do?

The Twitch Scraper reads Twitch's own public data feed, the same one that powers twitch.tv, and turns it into clean, structured rows. Point it at a channel, a game, or a search phrase, pick a mode, and press start.

Because it runs on the Apify platform, you also get scheduling, ready-made integrations, automatic proxy rotation, run monitoring, and clean exports in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS.

💡 Why use the Twitch Scraper?

• I am a brand sponsorship manager checking a streamer's follower count and live viewer numbers before signing a deal, so I can compare candidates side by side in one sheet.
• I am an esports analyst tracking which games are drawing the most viewers right now, so I can spot rising titles before my competitors do.
• I am a content agency owner pulling a streamer's top clips from the last month, so I can find their best moments for a highlight reel without watching hours of footage.
• I am a market researcher building a leaderboard of the biggest channels in a category, so I can size an audience before pitching a campaign.

📥 Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
mode	enum	Yes	What to scrape: channels, searchChannels, topStreams, gameStreams, topGames, clips, or videos.
targets	array of strings	No	Channel names or profile links, search phrases, or game names, depending on the mode. Not used by Top live streams or Top games.
clipPeriod	enum	No	Time window for ranking clips by views: last day, last week, last month, or all time. Used by Clips mode and the clip enrichment toggle below. Defaults to all time.
includeRecentVideos	boolean	No	Attach each channel's most recent videos as a nested list on the channel row. Channels mode only. Defaults to false.
recentVideosLimit	integer	No	How many recent videos to attach per channel, from 0 to 10. Defaults to 5 once the toggle above is on.
includeTopClips	boolean	No	Attach each channel's top clips as a nested list on the channel row. Channels mode only. Defaults to false.
topClipsLimit	integer	No	How many top clips to attach per channel, from 0 to 10. Defaults to 5 once the toggle above is on.
maxResults	integer	No	Maximum number of rows to return. Twitch caps a single request at 30 for Top live streams and 100 for the other list modes, so higher values are trimmed to that cap. Defaults to 30.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Proxy settings. The default works fine for this Actor.

💰 Pricing

This Actor uses pay per result, so you only pay for the rows you actually receive. Runs that return nothing cost nothing, and there are no monthly subscriptions or hidden fees. Set Max results to keep any run within your budget, and start small to preview the data before scaling up.

❓ FAQ

Does it get blocked?

No. Twitch's public data feed has no anti-bot walls for this kind of read-only lookup, so runs are fast and reliable without needing residential proxies.

Do I need a Twitch account or login?

No. The Actor needs no login, no password, and no account. Just pick a mode and press start.

How fresh is the data?

Every run reads live from Twitch at the moment it runs, so viewer counts, follower counts, and live status are always current.

Which modes are supported?

Seven: channel lookup, channel search, top live streams sitewide, live streams for a specific game, the top games directory, clips, and videos. Chat messages and full follower lists are out of scope, as they need different infrastructure.
