## FAQ

### How do I get Twitch clip details with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/twitch/clip with the full Twitch clip URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns the clip title, view count, duration, creator name, broadcaster name, game name, thumbnail URL, and creation timestamp in one JSON payload.

### What fields does the Twitch Clip API return?

The response includes clip id, slug, title, view_count, duration, thumbnail_url, created_at, broadcaster (name and id), creator (the clipper), game name, and source video URL. Engagement lives under the unified post.engagement object for cross-platform parity.

### Can I pull top clips for a streamer or game?

The clip endpoint fetches one clip by URL. Pair it with the profile endpoint to build your own streamer dashboards, or feed a list of clip URLs from an external source (Twitch trending pages, Discord alerts, analytics tools) through this endpoint in a loop.

### How much does the Twitch Clip API cost?

Each request costs 1 credit on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required — enough to test 100 clip URLs end-to-end and validate the response schema before you ever add a payment method to your account.

### Is the Twitch clip thumbnail URL direct-usable?

Yes. The thumbnail_url is a public Twitch-hosted image link you can embed directly in thumbnails, carousels, or Open Graph tags. Videos include duration and view count so you can rank clips by engagement for recap feeds or highlight reels.
