Twitch API alternative

The official Twitch API requires OAuth registration, client IDs, and token management — and Twitch has been deprecating endpoints and tightening access since 2023. This Twitch Scraper is the best Twitch API alternative in 2026. It uses Twitch's public GraphQL endpoint to extract streamer profiles, live streams, top games, clips, and VODs — no API key, no OAuth, no token refresh. Just structured data, ready to use.

Use cases

• Influencer marketing — Find streamers by game, viewer count, and follower count to identify partnership opportunities
• Esports analytics — Track competitive gaming viewership and tournament performance across categories
• Brand sponsorship — Evaluate streamer reach, engagement, and audience demographics for sponsorship decisions
• Game publisher analytics — Monitor your game's performance on Twitch: viewer trends, top streamers, clip virality
• Content research — Discover trending clips, rising categories, and emerging content formats
• Talent scouting — Identify rising streamers before they go mainstream using growth and engagement signals

• No browser/Playwright — Pure HTTP requests = fast execution, low memory (256 MB)
• No proxy needed — Public API, no IP blocking
• Cursor-based pagination — Reliable extraction for large datasets up to 500 results

• Follower counts and viewer counts are real-time snapshots, not historical
• Maximum 500 results per run (use multiple runs for larger datasets)
• Some fields may return null if Twitch modifies their schema
