## FAQ

### How do I get a Twitch streamer's profile with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/twitch/profile with the streamer's handle (no slashes or URL) in the handle parameter. SocialCrawl returns JSON with display name, follower count, bio, profile image URL, broadcast language, and partner/affiliate status.

### What fields does GET /v1/twitch/profile return?

The response includes id, username, display_name, avatar_url, bio, profile URL, follower count, broadcast language, is_partner, is_affiliate, and account creation timestamp — all normalised into the same author schema used by every SocialCrawl platform.

### Can I scrape Twitch profiles without a Helix client ID?

Yes. SocialCrawl does not require a registered Twitch developer application, client ID, client secret, or OAuth app access token. Pass the handle and your SocialCrawl x-api-key — the endpoint returns the public profile directly, with no Helix handshake.

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

Each request costs 1 credit on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required — enough to pull around 100 Twitch streamer profiles before you pay a cent, perfect for prototyping creator-discovery workflows.

### Does the endpoint return partner and affiliate status?

Yes. The response includes both is_partner and is_affiliate flags so you can filter for Twitch Partners, Affiliates, or non-monetised channels. Useful for influencer outreach lists, sponsorship targeting, and creator-tier dashboards.
