Input Configuration

Parameter	Type	Description	Required	Default

gameNames	Array of Strings	Game/category names to filter by (e.g., Fortnite, Just Chatting)	No	[]

How It Works

The scraper operates in three modes depending on the input:

1. Channels Mode (channels provided)

• Checks if specific channels are currently live
• Returns full stream data for each live channel
• Offline channels are logged and skipped
• Uses efficient batch queries (up to 35 channels per request)

2. Game/Category Mode (gameNames provided)

• Fetches live streams for specific game categories
• Game names must match the exact Twitch category name
• Supports multiple game categories in a single run
• Paginates automatically up to maxItems

3. Top Streams Mode (no filters)

• When neither channels nor gameNames are provided
• Fetches the most popular live streams globally
• Sorted by viewer count (highest first)
