Real responses are complete. ## One schema on 21 platforms. The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/twitch/videos/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/post/index.md). - ### 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 Twitch channel: its login with or without the @ (ninja), a channel link with any tab after it (twitch.tv/ninja/videos), or its numeric ID (19571641). - ### Write one parser Twitch, TikTok, Instagram and 18 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all. - **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …). - **`id`string**: Platform-native post ID (string; Instagram shortcode, Reddit with its t3_ prefix). - **`url`string**: Canonical post URL. - **`type`string**: Normalized content shape. New values may be added; treat unknown values as other. - **`platform_type`string**: The platform's own product label, lowercase (reel, short, story, live, tweet, …). - **`title`string**: Headline (YouTube title, Reddit title); null on caption-only platforms. - **`text`string**: Caption, description or body as plain text. - **`language`string**: BCP-47 language of text, when the platform states it.

A list that goes on ends there with page.end_reason platform_limit. To read more of a channel, ask for each type and both sorts. - Newest orders by when Twitch made each video, and published_at can be later on a highlight or an upload, so only type=archive is strictly by published_at. There, since ends the walk. On the other types, since and until filter the page. - text is the video's description, which most past broadcasts don't have, and is null then. - is_nsfw is true when Twitch marks the video with any content classification label but politics and sensitive social issues, such as a mature-rated game, gambling, drugs, violence or sexual themes. platform_specific.twitch.content_labels lists them all in Twitch's own words. - media\[0\].url is the video's playlist (HLS, every quality Twitch gives a logged-out viewer and audio only), signed, and works from any network until expires_at, which is less than a day away, so fetch a fresh one rather than store it. A cached answer keeps the links it was fetched with, so a max_age longer than that can return expired links. - A video Twitch keeps from logged-out viewers, usually for the channel's subscribers, returns every other field, with platform_specific.twitch.is_restricted true and media\[0\].url null. - A channel with no videos returns an empty page, one Twitch has taken down returns private_or_unavailable, and a name nobody holds, or a channel its owner closed, returns not_found. - If Twitch's API is down, the channel's Videos page can answer type=all, newest, by login: its latest few videos, with no type, category, labels, playlist or is_restricted, and views as of when Twitch last drew the page (metrics.view_count in approximate_fields). ## 1 credit per page.

More in the [API reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/twitch/videos/index.md). **How much does the Twitch Videos API cost?** A page of up to 100 past broadcasts, highlights and uploads costs 1 credit. Every successful page is charged, empty pages included. SocialTap credits cost $0.75–$1.97 per 1,000, depending on the plan or pack. **How do I get the next page?** Repeat the same request with cursor set to page.next_cursor from the previous response, keeping the other parameters. When page.has_more is false there are no more pages. Cursors expire after 1 hour.
