Real-time Twitch data, one API call.
Pull Twitch channel profiles, VOD lists, public schedules, and clip metadata.
The Twitch API from Captapi gives developers reliable access to public Twitch data without building or maintaining scrapers — send one authenticated request and get clean, structured JSON back.

-H "Authorization: Bearer capt_live_..."What is the Twitch API?
Pull Twitch channel profiles, VOD lists, public schedules, and clip metadata. Every endpoint is a single authenticated GET request that responds with predictable JSON, so the data drops straight into dashboards, AI pipelines, RAG systems, and no-code automations. AI agents can call the same endpoints as MCP tools via @captapi/mcp.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Twitch API?+
The Twitch API is a REST API from Captapi that returns public Twitch data as clean, structured JSON. It covers 4 endpoints — Profile, User Videos, User Schedule, Clip — behind one Bearer API key, with no OAuth flow and no scrapers to build or maintain.
What data can I get from the Twitch API?+
Pull Twitch channel profiles, VOD lists, public schedules, and clip metadata. Each endpoint is a single GET request that responds with predictable JSON fields, so the data is ready for dashboards, AI pipelines, and automations.
Do I need a Twitch developer account or OAuth?+
No. You only need a Captapi key (capt_live_...), sent as an Authorization: Bearer header. The same key works across all 29 platforms Captapi supports. We handle proxies, rate limits, retries, and parsing for you.
How much does the Twitch API cost?+
Twitch endpoints cost between 9 and 34 credits per call, depending on the endpoint and how many results you request. New accounts start with 100 free credits (no credit card), and repeat calls are served from a 24-hour cache for 0 credits.
Can AI agents use the Twitch API?+
Yes. Every Twitch endpoint is exposed as a tool in the official MCP server (@captapi/mcp) for Claude, Cursor, and VS Code, and is also available through the @captapi/cli CLI, an n8n community node, a Make.com app, and an Apify Actor.
Is the Twitch API suitable for production use?+
Yes. It is a stable REST API with predictable JSON, automatic retries, upstream fallbacks, and a shared 24-hour cache. Only successful responses consume credits — failed or empty results are never charged.
