Twitch Scraper — Channels & Live Streams, No Login

Scrape Twitch channels and live streams into clean structured JSON: followers, partner status, description, live status, and last broadcast for any channel — plus a browse of currently-live streams globally or by game. Fast and clean, with no login or API key. Built for streaming analytics, creator discovery, and esports monitoring.

Features

• 📺 Channel profiles — followers, isPartner, isAffiliate, description, createdAt, and profileImage.
• 🔴 Live status — isLive, liveViewers, liveTitle, liveGame, and liveStartedAt in every channel record.
• ⏮️ Last broadcast — lastBroadcastAt and lastBroadcastTitle for channels that are currently offline.
• 🎮 Browse live streams — enable includeTopStreams for global top streams, or set streamsGame to filter by category.
• 🔗 Flexible input — accepts channel logins (shroud) or twitch.tv/... URLs.
• ⚡ No key, no login — just pass channel logins or URLs, no setup required.
• 🧹 Tidy records — normalized text and a ready-to-use channel url on every row.

What you get

Each channel is one clean JSON record:

{
  "type": "channel",
  "id": "37402112",
  "login": "shroud",
  "displayName": "shroud",
  "description": "Professional gamer",
  "followers": 10500000,
  "isPartner": true,
  "isAffiliate": false,
  "createdAt": "2012-10-08T20:16:52Z",
  "profileImage": "https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/.../profile.png",
  "isLive": true,
  "liveViewers": 24500,
  "liveTitle": "ranked grind",
  "liveGame": "VALORANT",
  "liveStartedAt": "2026-07-23T18:02:00Z",
  "lastBroadcastAt": "2026-07-22T21:10:00Z",

}

Live streams (when includeTopStreams is on) come as type: "stream" records with id, title, viewers, startedAt, broadcaster, broadcasterName, game, and url.

FAQ

Do I need a Twitch account or API key? No. Just pass channel logins or twitch.tv/... URLs — no login, key, or setup is required.

Can I get currently-live streams, not just channels? Yes. Turn on includeTopStreams for global top streams, or set streamsGame to filter live streams by category.

In what format is the data returned? Every run produces a clean dataset you can export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull via the Apify API.

Can I connect the Twitch Scraper to other tools? The Twitch Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.
