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 & Clips Discovery Scraper ๐ŸŸฃ **Discover Twitch by game/category into clean JSON โ€” for `$0.20 / 1K items`.** Not by channel โ€” by **what's happening now**. Get the top **live streams** (overall or for a game), the top **clips** for a game (by time window), or the **games directory** ranked by viewers. No login, no API key, no Twitch developer app. > ๐Ÿ’ธ **$0.20 / 1,000 items** โ€” pay only for what you get. One of the cheapest Twitch scrapers on the Store. ### Three discovery modes (`resultType`) #### `streams` โ€” live streams (default) Leave `games` empty for the **top streams overall**, or pass game names for **top streams per game**. | Field | Example | |---|---| | `broadcasterName` / `broadcasterLogin` | `VALORANT_jpn` | | `title` | `VALORANT Challengers Japan 2026` | | `viewers` | `2570` | | `game` | `VALORANT` | | `startedAt` | `2026-06-25T08:00:00Z` | | `thumbnailUrl` / `url` | preview image / `https://www.twitch.tv/valorant_jpn` | #### `clips` โ€” top clips per game (set `clipPeriod`) | Field | Example | |---|---| | `title` | `1st ACE NEW MAP` | | `views` | `7978` | | `url` | `https://www.twitch.tv/horcus/clip/MushyJoyousSushiBIRB-โ€ฆ` | | `broadcasterName` / `creatorLogin` | `Horcus` / `someclipper` | | `durationSeconds` / `createdAt` / `game` / `period` | `30` / `โ€ฆ` / `VALORANT` / `LAST_WEEK` | #### `games` โ€” the games directory `name`, `displayName`, `viewers`, `url` (e.g. `Just Chatting โ†’ 111021 viewers`). ### Input ```json { "resultType": "streams", "games": ["VALORANT", "Just Chatting"], "maxItemsPerGame": 50, "clipPeriod": "LAST_WEEK", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` - **resultType** โ€” `streams` ยท `clips` ยท `games`. - **games** โ€” game/category names. For `streams`, empty = **top overall**; for `clips`, required; ignored for `games`. - **maxItemsPerGame** โ€” items per game (or total games). Twitch caps a single request at **100 per game** (streams/clips/games) and **30 for top-streams-overall**. - **clipPeriod** โ€” `LAST_DAY` ยท `LAST_WEEK` ยท `LAST_MONTH` ยท `ALL_TIME` (clips only). - **proxyConfiguration** โ€” Datacenter (default) is enough and cheapest. ### Use cases - **Trend discovery** โ€” what's being watched right now, per game and overall. - **Clip mining** โ€” pull the top viral clips for a game/time window (titles + direct URLs). - **Influencer sourcing** โ€” find the biggest live streamers in a category, then enrich each with the **Twitch Channel Scraper**. - **Market sizing** โ€” viewer counts per game from the directory. ### Notes - Public data only, via Twitch's own public GraphQL endpoint. No login or developer app needed. - `streams` are live at scrape time (`viewers` is the live count). Respect Twitch's Terms and your local laws. - Returns the top results in a single request (up to **100 per game**, **30 for top-streams-overall**) โ€” Twitch integrity-gates deeper pagination. Pass multiple `games` to cover more. # Actor input Schema ## `resultType` (type: `string`): streams = live streams (top overall, or per game); clips = top clips per game; games = the games directory. ## `games` (type: `array`): Game/category names (e.g. VALORANT, Just Chatting). For 'streams' leave empty to get the top streams overall; for 'clips' this is required; ignored for 'games'. ## `maxItemsPerGame` (type: `integer`): How many streams/clips to fetch per game (or total games). Twitch caps a single request at 100 per game (clips/streams/games) and 30 for top-streams-overall. ## `clipPeriod` (type: `string`): Time window for top clips. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Datacenter proxy works for Twitch and is cheapest (default). ## Actor input object example ```json { "resultType": "streams", "games": [ "VALORANT", "Just Chatting" ], "maxItemsPerGame": 50, "clipPeriod": "LAST_WEEK", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "games": [ "VALORANT", "Just Chatting" ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("gurify/twitch-discovery-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`๐Ÿ’พ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // ๐Ÿ“š Want to learn more ๐Ÿ“–?
