## What's an Apify Actor?
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/docs.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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.

JSON / CSV / Excel output formats
### What you get
Each record is one streamer or channel, ready for outreach lists, influencer databases or research:
- **channelName** and **displayName**: the handle and public name
- **followers**: total follower count, the core reach signal
- **currentGame**: the game or category they are streaming right now
- **viewerCount** and **isLive**: live audience size and whether they are on air
- **streamTitle** and **language**: what the stream is about and its language
- **broadcasterType**: partner, affiliate or empty, a quick monetization tier
- **description**: the channel bio
- **profileImageUrl**, **primaryColorHex**, **profileUrl**: branding and a direct link
- **createdDate**: how long the account has existed
- **socialLinks**: linked socials when publicly available
- **inputGame** / **inputChannel**: which input produced the record
- **observedAt**: freshness of the snapshot
Empty runs are never billed, so you only pay for real streamer records.
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Influencer marketing | Brands and agencies building creator shortlists by game, reach and language |
| Lead generation | Sponsorship and talent teams sourcing partner and affiliate streamers |
| Market research | Analysts tracking who dominates a category and how audiences shift |
| Dashboards | Builders feeding live viewer and follower data into their own tools |
### How to use it
1. Add one or more **games / categories** (for example `Just Chatting`, `Fortnite`) to discover the top live streamers in each.
2. Or add specific **channels** (logins or profile URLs) to pull full profiles and live status directly.
3. Set **Max Streamers To Scrape** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
Leave both games and channels empty to grab the top live streams across all of Twitch.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Does it find live streamers or all channels?**
Both. Discovery by game returns channels that are live right now, sorted by viewers. Looking up specific channels returns their full profile whether they are live or offline.
**What does broadcasterType mean?**
It is the channel's Twitch tier: `partner`, `affiliate`, or empty for a standard account. Partners and affiliates monetize, which is useful for sponsorship targeting.
**How do I target by audience size?**
Sort or filter the exported data by **followers** or **viewerCount** to focus on macro or micro creators.
**How fresh is the data?**
Follower counts, current game and viewer numbers are read live at run time, so each record reflects the channel at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
