The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.
Null means unknown
A field Twitch doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
What it accepts
The clip: its link (clips.twitch.tv/<slug>, twitch.tv/<channel>/clip/<slug>, m.twitch.tv/clip/<slug>, clips.twitch.tv/embed?clip=<slug>) or its slug.
Write one parser
Twitch, TikTok, Instagram and 6 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.
platformstring- Platform the media is hosted on.
idstring- Platform-native ID of the post (equals post.id); of an ad library entry, its library ID (equals ad.id).
urlstring- Canonical URL of the post (of an ad library entry, its library page).
languagestring- BCP-47 language of the returned transcript; null when unknown.
sourcestring- captions = platform caption track; asr = speech-to-text on the audio. New values may be added.
is_auto_generatedboolean- True when the track was machine-generated (platform auto-captions or ASR).
available_languagesstring[]- BCP-47 caption languages the platform offers for this post; [] if none or not listed.
duration_msinteger- Media duration in milliseconds; null when unknown.
Live data from 33 platforms.

Good to know before you build.
- Every transcript is priced as speech-to-text, per started minute of the clip.
- A clip with music, noise or silence and no speech returns no_transcript and is not charged.
- Clips only: a link to a past broadcast, a highlight or an upload, or a video's number, returns invalid_input naming the endpoint that takes it.
- duration_ms is Twitch's stated length, in whole seconds, so the last cue can end a little after it.
- A clip is read by its slug, so a link with another channel's name returns the clip with its real channel and canonical url.
From 2 credits per request. Failed requests are free.
Buy credits once and spend them on any endpoint, on any platform.
| Source | Price per successful request | Per 1,000 requests |
|---|---|---|
Speech-to-text asr | 2 credits + 2 per started minute of media up to 122 credits (60 started minutes of media) | $1.50–$3.93 + $1.50–$3.93 per started minute of media |
- Cache hits are free.
- Credits from packs and top-ups never expire.
- A monthly plan's credits are spent first, and what is left of them ends at each renewal.
- Prices exclude tax: sales tax is added at checkout where it applies.
- Outside the US, plans and packs are sold to businesses: checkout asks for your VAT, GST or other business tax ID.
