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 Ultimate Scraper Scrape Twitch channels, live streams, clips, VODs, games without any API key. Download clips as MP4. ### Actions | Action | Description | |---|---| | `scrape_urls` | Auto-detect & scrape any Twitch URL | | `top_streams` | Top live streams right now | | `top_games` | Top games/categories | | `channel_clips` | Clips for a channel | | `channel_vods` | VODs for a channel | | `search_channels` | Search channels | | `search_games` | Search games | | `game_streams` | Live streams for a game | ### Input ```json { "action": "channel_clips", "channel": "shroud", "limit": 20, "clipPeriod": "LAST_MONTH", "downloadClips": true } ```` ### Downloads When `downloadClips` is enabled, MP4 files are saved to the Key-Value Store. CSV export is always at `output.csv`. # Actor input Schema ## `action` (type: `string`): What to scrape. ## `urls` (type: `array`): List of Twitch URLs to scrape (channels, clips, VODs). Used when action is 'scrape\_urls'. ## `channel` (type: `string`): Channel login name. Used for clips, VODs actions. ## `query` (type: `string`): Search term. Used for search\_channels, search\_games actions. ## `game` (type: `string`): Game/category name. Used for game\_streams action. ## `limit` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of results to return. ## `clipPeriod` (type: `string`): Time period for clips. ## `downloadClips` (type: `boolean`): Download clip MP4 files to the key-value store. ## `requestDelay` (type: `number`): Delay between requests to avoid rate limiting. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional Apify proxy. ## Actor input object example ```json { "action": "scrape_urls", "urls": [ "https://www.twitch.tv/shroud", "https://www.twitch.tv/xqc" ], "channel": "shroud", "query": "valorant", "game": "Valorant", "limit": 20, "clipPeriod": "LAST_WEEK", "downloadClips": false, "requestDelay": 0.5 } ``` # 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 = { "urls": [ "https://www.twitch.tv/shroud", "https://www.twitch.tv/xqc" ], "channel": "shroud", "query": "valorant", "game": "Valorant" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/my-actor-57").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“–?
