Twitch data toolkit via ScraperSocial — streamer profiles, clips and user video listings as clean JSON.

Twitch API skill

Read public Twitch data as clean JSON. This Twitch API skill returns a streamer's profile, a single clip, or a channel's video listing — 2 credits each. It is the quick read for creator research on Twitch when you do not want to register an application and manage OAuth tokens.

This skill wraps 3 live Twitch endpoints from the ScraperSocial API. Public data only, returned as clean JSON.

When to use this skill

You are researching a streamer: their profile, their recent videos, their clips.
A user pastes a Twitch clip and asks what it is or who made it.
You are building a cross-platform creator profile that includes Twitch.

Do not use this skill when

You need live stream status or chat. Not covered here. Twitch's own API and EventSub handle real-time state properly.
You are building a Twitch integration proper. The official API is free, richer and supports subscriptions to live events.
You need viewer or revenue analytics. Account-scoped and not public.

Setup

bash

export SCRAPERSOCIAL_KEY=sk_live_...   # https://scrapersocial.com/app/keys

Permissions and scope

These scripts do exactly three things and nothing else: read one environment variable (SCRAPERSOCIAL_KEY), send HTTPS requests to https://api.scrapersocial.com (the host is a constant in the code, not configurable), and print JSON. They run as node scripts/<name>.js with no other shell use, no file writes and no persistence. call_endpoint.js accepts only the 3 documented /v1/twitch/ paths in the table below and refuses anything else before a request is made.

Scripts

Script	What it does	Input	Credits
`get_clip.js`	Get Twitch clip.	url	handle
`get_profile.js`	Get Twitch profile.	handle	2 credits
`get_user_videos.js`	List Twitch user videos.	handle	2 credits per video
`call_endpoint.js`	Call any `/v1/twitch/` endpoint directly	path + params	varies

Every script also accepts --limit, --cursor, --fields, --format and --fresh. --limit is clamped to 50: above that the API returns an async job instead of data.

Example

bash

node skills/twitch-api/scripts/get_profile.js <streamer-handle>

Every response uses the same envelope:

json

{ "data": {}, "meta": { "count": 20, "next_cursor": "..." }, "request_id": "a18e4ef88ad4b00b" }

meta appears on paginated endpoints only. Keep request_id — support traces calls with it.

Endpoints

Endpoint	Input	Returns	Credits	Paginated
`/v1/twitch/clip`	url	handle	clip	2 credits
`/v1/twitch/profile`	handle	profile	2 credits	no
`/v1/twitch/user-videos`	handle	video	2 credits per video	yes

Costs shown per item for paginated endpoints, per call otherwise. Failed calls are not charged.

FAQ

What can I get from Twitch?

Three endpoints at 2 credits each: get_profile.js for a streamer, get_clip.js for a clip, and get_user_videos.js for a channel's videos.

Can I tell whether someone is live right now?

Not reliably — there is no live-status endpoint here, and responses may be cached. Use Twitch's own API for real-time state.

Is this an official Twitch API?

No. ScraperSocial is independent and not affiliated with Twitch or Amazon. It returns publicly available data only.
