The most complete Twitch channel scraper available. It returns every field a Twitch profile and live stream exposes, from follower count, broadcaster type and account age to live viewer count, current game, stream title and tags, plus parsed creator social and contact links, and gives you three ways to target streamers: by game, by channel, or the top live streams across all of Twitch.

What it does

The actor discovers Twitch streamers three ways: the top live streamers in the games or categories you list, specific channel logins or profile URLs you pass, or the top live streams across all of Twitch when both lists are empty. It writes one normalized record per streamer to the run's dataset. Each record carries the profile (display name, follower count, broadcaster type, bio, account creation date, accent color), the current live status (is-live flag, viewer count, current game, stream title, tags, uptime), the last broadcast details, and parsed creator social and contact links. Missing values are returned as null, and each record carries an observedAt timestamp.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns the top live streamers in Just Chatting and Fortnite.

{
  "games": ["Just Chatting", "Fortnite"],
  "maxStreamers": 10
}

To look up specific channels instead, pass channels: ["shroud", "pokimane"]. Leave both games and channels empty to pull the top live streams across all of Twitch.

Input reference

games	string[]	no	["Just Chatting", "Fortnite"]	One or more Twitch game or category names to discover the top live streamers in, for example Just Chatting, Fortnite, League of Legends. One run scrapes all of them.
channels	string[]	no	(empty)	Specific channel logins or profile URLs to look up directly, for example shroud, pokimane or https://twitch.tv/ninja. Returns full profile and current live status for each, live or offline.
maxStreamers	integer	no	30	Maximum number of streamers to collect across the whole run. Free Apify plans are capped at 10 per run.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~twitch-streamers-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"games":["League of Legends"],"maxStreamers":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~twitch-streamers-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"channels":["shroud","pokimane","ninja"],"maxStreamers":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/twitch-streamers-scraper \
  --input '{"games":["Just Chatting"],"maxStreamers":10}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher maxStreamers.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The game or category name matched nothing, or the channel logins do not exist. Check the exact category name as shown on Twitch, or confirm the channel login. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Can I look up offline channels? Yes. Pass channel logins in channels. Offline channels return the full profile with isLive set to false; live-only fields such as viewerCount and streamTitle are null.

How do I get the biggest streams overall? Leave both games and channels empty. The actor pulls the top live streams across all of Twitch.

What are the social links? socialLinks is a comma-joined string of the creator's public social and contact links (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Linktree) when the channel lists them.

Is this an official Twitch tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with Twitch. It reads only publicly available channel and stream data. Use the results in accordance with the source's terms.
