Twitch Scraper — Channels, Live Streams, Clips, VODs & Streamer Leads

Extract complete Twitch data — streamer profiles, live streams, games/categories, clips and VODs — and turn every channel into a ready-to-contact influencer-marketing lead with a business email, social links and a 0–100 lead score.

No login, no API key, no browser — fast JSON extraction straight from Twitch's own public GraphQL back end, with inline queries that don't break when Twitch rotates its internal query hashes (the failure mode of most other Twitch scrapers).

Why this Twitch scraper?

Most Twitch scrapers return a thin slice (just live streams, or just a follower count) and break whenever Twitch rotates its persisted-query hashes. This actor ships the richest dataset in the category and is resilient by design:

Data	Typical scrapers	This actor
Channel profile (followers, partner/affiliate, account age)	partial	✅ full
Live status + current stream (title, game, viewers, tags, uptime, FPS)	partial	✅
Live-stream directory (top overall or by game, with follower counts)	partial	✅
Games / categories with live viewer counts	❌	✅
Clips (by channel or game, any time window)	partial	✅
Videos / VODs (past broadcasts, highlights, uploads)	partial	✅
Keyword search (channels, games, videos)	❌	✅
Streamer business email (parsed from the bio)	❌	✅ opt-in
Social links (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, Discord, Facebook…)	❌	✅ opt-in
Lead score (0–100) per streamer	❌	✅ opt-in
Only-new / status-change monitor mode	❌	✅
No start fee	❌ many charge one	✅

Use cases

• Influencer & sponsorship outreach — find streamers by game, size or keyword, then contact them directly with businessEmail and their instagram / youtube / tiktok / twitter / discord links, ranked by leadScore and followersCount.
• Esports & gaming market research — track which games and categories are pulling viewers right now, and who the top live broadcasters are in each.
• Live audience monitoring — schedule recurring runs to watch when specific streamers go live/offline or switch games, and capture viewer counts over time.
• Content & trend discovery — pull top clips and VODs by channel or game for highlight reels, recaps and trend analysis.
• Creator analytics — build dashboards of follower reach, partner status, stream uptime and category mix across any list of channels.

A stream record (live directory) carries title, viewersCount, game, language, tags, uptimeMinutes, averageFps, thumbnailUrl and the broadcaster's login, displayName and broadcasterFollowersCount.

Automate & schedule

Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API — start runs, fetch datasets, manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python — official SDKs.
• Schedules — run it every few minutes/hours to track when streamers go live, watch a game's directory, or grow a lead list. Turn on monitor mode to pay only for new/changed items.
• Webhooks — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, Discord ping) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/twitch-scraper').call({
    mode: 'channels',
    channelUsernames: ['pokimane', 'jynxzi'],
    includeStreamerLeads: true,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} channels & streamer leads`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new streamer leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack — get pinged when a monitored streamer goes live.
• Google Drive / Sheets — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte — pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub — trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server — ask your assistant to "find the top VALORANT streamers live right now and list their contact emails" and let it run this scraper for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready — AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server — no account, no API key.
• Skyfire — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Tips

• Build a lead list fast: run liveStreams for a game to discover who's live, copy the broadcasterLogins into channelUsernames, then run channels with includeStreamerLeads for full contact data and lead scores.
• Live directory depth: Twitch caps directory pages at 30 streams per game without a browser token. Pass several gameNames to get 30 each, or use channels mode (uncapped) for a known list of streamers.
• Monitoring: combine Schedules with monitorMode — channels re-emit only when they go live/offline or switch games, so you pay only for change.
• Proxies: the default is RESIDENTIAL because Twitch returns streamer social links only to residential IPs. For modes that don't need socials (liveStreams, games, clips, videos, search) you can switch to datacenter to save a little.

FAQ

Do I need a Twitch API key or login? No. This actor reads Twitch's public web GraphQL back end — the same data anonymous visitors see — with no key, OAuth or browser.

Can I get a streamer's email? When includeStreamerLeads is on, the actor extracts the business/booking email that streamers publish in their own bio, plus their public social links. With enrichLeadWebsites it also checks a linked website. It never accesses private data.

How do I scrape the top streamers for a game? Use liveStreams mode with the game in gameNames — you'll get the live directory (up to 30 per game) with viewers, titles, tags and follower counts.

Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV or Excel? Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the Google Drive integration.

How do I get alerted when someone goes live? Run channels mode on a Schedule with monitorMode on; channels re-emit when their live status changes. Add a webhook or Slack/Zapier step to push the alert.

A field is null — why? Some channels don't publish socials, a website or a current game, and offline channels have no live stream. Fields are null only when the data doesn't exist, not because the scraper skipped them.

Is scraping Twitch legal? This actor collects publicly available data only. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (GDPR/CCPA for personal data) and Twitch's terms.
