A failed row preserves input, sets status to failed, and sets every other top-level field to null. The run log records the reason. Optional successful fields can be null or empty when Twitch does not supply them. Object fields are exposed through useful columns in the single Channels view; arrays are not expanded into extra result rows.

Input requirements and pagination settings ⚙️

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Rules
inputList	array of strings	Yes	None	Enter one search keyword or phrase per item. Each page returns up to 10 channels. At least 1 item.
pagesPerSearch	integer	No	1	Maximum result pages per input. Setup requests do not count as pages. Stops when the source has no next page or repeats a continuation. Actual rows per page can vary. Minimum 1.

Enter plain search queries, not URLs. Search discovers channels rather than the full list of streams in a category.

Enter plain keyword phrases, such as gaming for channel search or minecraft for video search. Search URLs are not accepted. Each value is a separate search input, and only the result type of this Actor is collected.

Duplicate normalized inputs are processed once. Within the collection for one source input, repeated records are removed while distinct interactions or objects remain separate. The same object returned for different source inputs retains its source relationship.

The first result page counts as page 1. Public-page preparation and metadata lookups do not consume result pages. Collection stops at your page budget or the end of the available list. A short page alone does not mean that the list has ended.

Twitch channel search results use cases 🎯

Channel discovery

Create a source-linked candidate list from a topic or name query.

Profile enrichment inputs

Select channel logins for a later Channel Details run.

Live-state research

Review available live titles and categories in the returned channel sample without treating it as a complete live directory.

Pricing and saved-result behavior 💰

Check the Actor’s Pricing tab for the active pricing model and current rate. Store settings can change, so this README does not claim a fixed price or runtime.

Under dataset-item pricing:

• Each successful result represents one channel for its source input.
• An invalid or unavailable input, an input with no accessible results, or an exhausted request can produce a failed row.
• Retry attempts and supporting requests do not create extra dataset rows by themselves.
• Nested media, profile information and other arrays remain part of their parent row.
• A normal empty continuation after earlier successes creates no additional row.
• Saved failed rows are not assumed to be free; check their treatment in the active pricing configuration.

More inputs and larger page budgets can produce more saved rows. Start with a small run and check actual usage before increasing the workload.

Twitch channel search results API 🔌

Replace $ACTOR_ID with the identifier shown in this Actor’s API tab and $APIFY_TOKEN with your Apify token.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/$ACTOR_ID/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"inputList":["gaming"],"pagesPerSearch":1}'

Download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel or other formats available in the Console, or retrieve it through the Apify API. Use schedules, webhooks and Apify integrations to connect results to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, cloud storage or your own application. These connections are configured separately by the user.

Reliability, retries, and public-data limits ⚠️

Collection uses pure HTTP with up to five concurrent requests. Invalid syntax and confirmed missing, removed or unavailable targets stop without unnecessary retries. Temporary network or proxy failures, timeouts, blocking responses, malformed data, throttling and server errors allow up to five total attempts per request.

Successful earlier pages remain saved if a later request fails. A normal end after saved results is not retried. An input with no accessible results can receive a failed row; that alone does not prove that its underlying source does not exist. An exhausted later request can add a failed row while preserving previous output.

Follower counts are public counters, not follower lists or paid-subscriber counts. Live fields can be null for offline channels. Search ranking and public availability are controlled by Twitch.

Twitch controls public availability, ranking and optional fields. Result counts can be affected by duplicates, removed content and changes during a run. A page budget is a collection limit, not a promise of exhaustive coverage.

An invalid string within a valid input list does not stop other inputs. Invalid overall configuration, such as a non-string list item or a wrong page-count type, exits before source requests. Startup failures, unavailable dataset storage or an unrecoverable result-save error can still stop the whole run. A failed save is not retried as a new scraping request.

Frequently asked questions ❓

Does it collect only live channels?

No. Search can return channels that are currently offline. Available live-stream information remains optional.

Can it return a channel’s followers?

It can return a public follower count when supplied. It does not collect the individual follower list.

Does it require a Twitch account or personal cookies?

No. You do not need to provide a Twitch account, password or personal session cookie. Collection uses HTTP without opening a browser.

What happens to invalid or unavailable inputs?

Invalid individual inputs are recorded as failed without a source request. Confirmed missing or unavailable targets stop without unnecessary retries. Temporary failures allow up to five total attempts per request; other inputs and earlier saved results remain available.

Can I export results or run the same input again?

Yes. Export the default dataset or retrieve it through the Apify API. You can create an Apify schedule and connect completed runs to your own workflow.

Support, responsible use, and related actors 🛟

For a reproducible issue, use the Actor’s Issues tab and provide the run ID, approximate time, a safe public input, expected behavior and actual result. Include the mode or page budget when relevant. Never share access tokens, personal cookies or proxy credentials.
