Twitch scraper API. Live data from any public Twitch link.
Get public videos, profiles, transcripts and more by link or handle, with videos in the same fields as on 20 other platforms. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.
GET socialtap.dev/v1/twitch/video
Live data from 33 platforms.
What Twitch data can you get?
Public Twitch profiles with exact followers, links, Partner badge and whether the channel is live, with its viewer count. Videos and clips come with exact views, category, chapters and video files. You also get the streams a channel has scheduled and a clip's transcript from speech-to-text.

Clip Transcript
Why not the official Twitch API?
Twitch's Helix API needs an OAuth token from an application registered with Twitch, even to read a public channel.
No approval to wait for
One API key works on every endpoint. There's no app to get reviewed and no account to connect.
Anything public
Read what anyone can see without logging in, not only the accounts you manage or that authorized your app.
No daily quota
You pay per request. Plans have no rate limit, only a ceiling that stops a runaway loop.
Call the Twitch API from your code.
Copy the request for your language, or hand it to your agent.

Can I download a Twitch clip?
Yes. On a clip, media[0].url is a signed MP4 at the best quality, and platform_specific.twitch.renditions lists every quality. The links expire within a day.
What do I send?
A link as people share it (mobile, short or with tracking), a handle, an ID, or words to search. Each endpoint accepts every common form of its input.
Is the data live?
Yes. Every request reads the platform when you send it, unless you allow a cached answer.
What does null mean in a response?
Unknown. A field the platform doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
Are the fields the same on every platform?
Yes. 27 kinds of data have one schema each. Fields only one platform has sit under platform_specific.
What happens when a platform changes its pages?
We update our parsers. Your fields stay the same, and every endpoint's live status is public.
Do you read private or logged-in content?
No. Only public data that anyone can see without an account: no logins, no private profiles, no paywalled content.
Can my AI agent use it?
Yes. Add the MCP server and sign in with your browser, and your agent can call every endpoint. Or paste our prompt into your coding agent. The docs are also published as Markdown and llms.txt.
Try it on a Twitch link you have.
Get a key and send your first request in a minute. The same key works on every platform.
