Twitch Scraper API
Twitch API: 4 endpoints for streamer profiles, clip details, channel video history, and broadcast schedules. Every request costs 1 credit on the standard tier — 100 free credits on signup, no card. Skip the Helix app registration and OAuth app-token flow: one x-api-key returns unified JSON in the same schema as 41 other platforms.
TL;DR
The Twitch API by SocialCrawl returns Twitch data as structured JSON — 4 endpoints behind one x-api-key, from 1 credit per call. It shares one unified schema with 41 other platforms, so the same client code works everywhere.
