## 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 Scraper

Twitch Scraper by Omkar Cloud gets you 🎯 accurate, 🔍 detailed Twitch data.

Twitch uses integrity checks and bot protection to stop you from getting its data. Twitch Scraper beats it and reads Twitch live on every run — so you get full channel cards, channel search, live streams and VODs, and can successfully complete your project.

**$1 per 1,000 results.** And with Apify's free plan you get $5 of credit every month, so your first **~5,000 results 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 Scraper free**](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/twitch-scraper) — your first ~5,000 results are Free.

### What can I get

- 📺 **Full channel cards** — bio, followers, partner & affiliate flags, video count, creation date
- 🔗 **Socials, panels & team** — Instagram, X, YouTube, Discord links, every About panel and the channel's team
- 🔍 **Channel search** — every channel matching a name, with followers and the live stream when live
- 🔴 **Live streams** — title, viewers, uptime, language, tags, game and video quality; the whole directory or one category, filtered by language and tag
- 🎬 **VODs** — past broadcasts, highlights and uploads with views, duration, game and thumbnail

### Why Twitch Scraper

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

- 🧩 **Low-detail data** — a follower count and a name, never the socials, panels or chat rules
- 🗄️ **Inaccurate, cached, stale data** — yesterday's live status is useless
- 💸 **Pay more to get the same data** — $3–$10 per 1,000 rows elsewhere
- 🪦 **Works today, breaks next month** — nobody maintains it

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

### Example: Kai Cenat's Channel

```json
{
  "source": "kaicenat",
  "source_type": "channel",
  "id": "641972806",
  "login": "kaicenat",
  "username": "KaiCenat",
  "link": "https://www.twitch.tv/kaicenat",
  "is_live": false,
  "is_partner": true,
  "followers_count": 21771319,
  "videos_count": 183,
  "broadcast_settings": {
    "title": "🇮🇸EXPLORING ICELAND🇮🇸[Exploring The Unexplored]",
    "game": { "id": "509672", "name": "IRL", "link": "https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/irl" }
  },
  "last_broadcast": { "id": "320337261020", "started_at": "2026-09-16T08:01:52Z" },
  "socials": [
    { "platform": "instagram", "link": "https://www.instagram.com/kaicenat/?hl=en" },
    { "platform": "youtube", "link": "https://www.youtube.com/c/KaiCenat" }
  ],
  "chat_settings": { "is_followers_only": true, "followers_only_minutes": 10 },
  "created_at": "2021-01-27T01:55:08Z"
}
```

*Trimmed for readability.*

A live-stream row carries `source_type: "livestream"` with `title`, `viewers_count`, `uptime_seconds`, `language`, `tags`, `game`, `encoding` and the streamer under `channel`. A search row carries `source_type: "search"` with the channel's name, followers and live stream. A video row carries `source_type: "video"` with `title`, `type`, `view_count`, `duration`, `game` and `thumbnail`.

### FAQ

#### How do I give a channel?

A Twitch login (`kaicenat`), a numeric user ID (`641972806`) or any twitch.tv channel URL (`https://www.twitch.tv/ninja`), under **Channels**.

#### How do I filter live streams?

Turn on **Scrape live streams** and set **Category** (`Fortnite`, `just-chatting`), **Languages** (`en`, `es`, …) or **Tags** (`Vtuber`). Sort by most viewers, most recent or Twitch's recommended order.

#### Can I get a channel's past broadcasts?

Yes. Add the channel under **Channels to get videos from** and pick past broadcasts, highlights or uploads, newest or most viewed first.

#### Are duplicates billed?

No. A channel, stream or video is pushed and billed once per run, even when you list it and a search finds it too.

#### What does it cost?

$0.001 per result — $1 per 1,000 — and $0.002 per full channel card, flat on every plan, with no start fee. Apify's free plan gives you $5 of credit every month, which is about 5,000 results 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.

#### Can I get clips or chat?

Not with this Actor — use [Twitch Clips Scraper](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/twitch-clips-scraper) for clips and [Twitch Chat Scraper](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/twitch-chat-scraper) for chat replays.
