## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Twitch Chat Scraper

Twitch Chat Scraper by Omkar Cloud gets you 🎯 accurate, 🔍 detailed Twitch chat replays.

Twitch uses integrity checks and bot protection to stop you from getting its data. Twitch Chat Scraper beats it and reads Twitch live on every run — so you get every chat message of any VOD, and can successfully complete your project.

**$0.50 per 1,000 messages.** And with Apify's free plan you get $5 of credit every month, so your first **~10,000 messages each month are free**.

This is an excellent Actor made by Omkar Cloud, which is Rated Excellent — [4.7 based on 30 reviews on Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/omkar.cloud).

👉 [**Try Twitch Chat Scraper free**](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/twitch-chat-scraper) — your first ~10,000 messages are Free.

### What can I get

- 💬 **Every chat message of a VOD** — text, time sent and the exact second in the video
- 👤 **The sender** — username, chat color and badges, with subscriber, moderator and VIP flags
- 😀 **Emotes & fragments** — every emote with its image, and the message split into text and emote parts
- 📺 **Latest broadcasts of any channel** — give a channel and read the chat of its newest past broadcasts
- ⏩ **Start anywhere** — skip to any second of the video

### Why Twitch Chat Scraper

Most other Twitch chat scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

- 🧩 **Low-detail data** — text only, never the badges, emotes or video timestamp
- 🗄️ **Live-only capture** — miss the stream and the chat is gone
- 💸 **Pay more to get the same data** — start fees on every run elsewhere
- 🪦 **Works today, breaks next month** — nobody maintains it

Twitch Chat Scraper reads Twitch live, is priced honestly, and actively maintained.

### Example: A Chat Message from Ninja's Stream

```json
{
  "source": "ninja",
  "source_type": "channel",
  "video": { "id": "2881528985", "link": "https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2881528985", "duration_seconds": 7166 },
  "id": "9d5b9ae5-58be-400d-8ba8-0d65bef9ed39",
  "offset_seconds": 34,
  "offset": "0:34",
  "sent_at": "2026-09-23T01:01:15Z",
  "text": "yoooo ninja",
  "user": {
    "login": "the___dark___knight",
    "username": "the___dark___knight",
    "color": "#FF7F50",
    "is_subscriber": false,
    "is_moderator": false,
    "is_vip": false
  },
  "emotes": []
}
```

### FAQ

#### Which videos have chat replay?

Past broadcasts and highlights. Twitch keeps past broadcasts for 7 to 60 days depending on the channel; highlights stay until the streamer deletes them.

#### Can I start partway through a video?

Yes. Set **Start at (seconds into the video)** and reading begins there.

#### Are duplicates billed?

No. A message is pushed and billed once per run.

#### What does it cost?

$0.0005 per message — $0.50 per 1,000 — flat on every plan, with no start fee. Apify's free plan gives you $5 of credit every month, which is about 10,000 messages free every month.

#### Is it legal to scrape Twitch?

The Actor collects the public data twitch.tv shows any visitor. Please review Twitch's terms of service and make sure your use complies with the law of your jurisdiction, including data-protection law.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
