How it will work: 3 steps

  1. Follow us on ApifyThe tool is built and waits in the queue for the Apify Store. Apify is the cloud platform where our tools run.
  2. Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: twitch in Channels. Each start is one run.
  3. Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

This tool is an Apify Actor: a small program that runs on Apify. You can also run it on a schedule, for example every Monday. New to it? Read how it works, step by step and the 8 words you need first.

What it does

Twitch Follower Count & Channel Stats gets the follower count, bio, partner or affiliate status, last game, stream title, language, tags and creation date for a list of Twitch channels. You paste logins or twitch.tv links, or type a search word, and add your own free Twitch Client ID and Client Secret. You get one clean table row per channel, with numbers as numbers.

  • Accepts logins (shroud), handles (@pokimane) and links (https://www.twitch.tv/twitch). Upper and lower case do not matter.
  • Rows come in the order of your list. A login that appears twice is looked up once.
  • Search rows come in Twitch's search order, with their place in searchRank. A channel that is already in your list is not saved twice.
  • A login with no active channel gets a not_found row with your original line. A line that is not a Twitch login gets an invalid_input row.
  • null means "Twitch did not send this value". It is never written as 0.
  • E-mail addresses in a bio are replaced with [email removed]. The Actor does not collect contacts.

Good for

  • You have a list of streamers and need their follower counts and status in a table.
  • You know the start of a channel name (for example minecraft or speedrun) and want every matching channel with its size.
  • You want an official, stable data source instead of page scraping.

Not a good fit

  • You have no Twitch account with two-factor authentication. You need it to make the free key.
  • You need the list of followers, viewer counts of live streams, clips or videos. This Actor gives the follower total and the channel profile only.
  • You need e-mails or other contacts of streamers. This Actor does not collect them.

Questions

Do I need a Twitch key?

Yes. You make a free Client ID and Client Secret in the Twitch developer console. Two-factor login must be on.

Can I get the list of followers?

No. Twitch gives that list only to the channel owner. You get the follower total.

Does it show if a channel is live?

No. Game and title come from the current or last stream. Use a live streams Actor for that.

Does it return email addresses?

No. Email addresses in bios are replaced with [email removed].

Do I need a Twitch account?

Yes, to make the free key, with two-factor authentication on. The Actor does not log in to your account and does not use cookies.

Does it cost Twitch money?

No. The Twitch API is free. You pay only the Apify price above.

Is personal data included?

Only public channel data that Twitch shows on the channel page. E-mail addresses in bios are removed. No viewer data.

Limits and good to know

Data comes from the Twitch Helix API under your own Twitch app. Please follow the Twitch Developer Agreement. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Twitch.

  • Up to 1,000 lines in channels and up to 1,000 search results per run. We tested both at once: 1,991 channels saved in about 218 seconds
  • The Actor stops looking up channels 15 seconds before the run timeout so it can save the results. It keeps the saved rows and ends as PARTIAL with reason TIME_LIMIT. The default timeout of 300 seconds is enough for the maximum input
  • If your Twitch app runs out of requests and does not get them back within about a minute, the Actor keeps the saved rows and ends as PARTIAL with reason QUOTA_LIMIT
  • If Twitch fails again and again, the run keeps saved rows and ends with reason SOURCE_ERROR
  • followers is live at fetchedAt and changes all the time
  • Twitch search matches the start of the channel login (minecraft finds minecraft, minecraftlive and similar). It does not search games, stream titles or bios, and finds only channels that streamed in the last 6 months. Twitch decides the order and may stop giving results before maxItems
  • A renamed, banned or deleted channel comes back as not_found. Look it up by its new login
