Twitch Top Streams & Games Scraper

Scrape Twitch's top live streams and top games in seconds — no login, no API key, no Twitch developer app. Get live viewer counts, streamer names, stream titles, game/category, and start times, ready for esports analytics, streamer discovery, sponsorship research, and trend tracking.

Runs on datacenter proxies (or no proxy at all) and is priced to be cheap: roughly $0.5 per 1,000 items.

What it does

This actor pulls structured data straight from Twitch's public web GraphQL endpoint — the same data twitch.tv shows on its Browse and Directory pages.

Two modes:

• Top live streams (mode: streams) — the biggest live streams right now, overall or filtered to specific games.
• Top games (mode: games) — the game categories ranked by current live viewers.

Use cases

• Esports analytics — track which games and matches are pulling the most concurrent viewers in real time.
• Streamer discovery — surface the top broadcasters in any category to build talent shortlists.
• Sponsorship & influencer research — size a streamer's live audience and the game they play before you reach out.
• Trend tracking — monitor which games are rising or falling on Twitch day over day.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
mode	select	streams	streams = top live streams, games = top game categories by viewers.
games	array	[]	Only in streams mode. Exact Twitch game names (e.g. Just Chatting). Empty = top streams overall.
limit	integer	30	Items per query (1–100).
maxItems	integer	100	Total record cap (1–1000).
