Twitch Streams API

AI prompt

Paste this into your AI assistant. It already holds this endpoint's parameters, response fields and an example request, so the assistant can ask what you need and then write the scraper.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Twitch Streams endpoint (twitch/streams).

Endpoint contract:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to twitch and action to streams, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - game: Exact Twitch category name for streams, such as Just Chatting. Returns channels currently streaming in that category, not historical video archives of the game.
- Optional parameters:
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 30. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 10)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: stream_id, username, display_name, follower_count, title, viewer_count, game, started_at, url, avatar_url.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "twitch",
  "action": "streams",
  "params": {
    "game": "Just Chatting"
  }
}
- Price: $1.39 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Request parameters

Code samples

curl -X POST 'https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVERYINFRA_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{
  "platform": "twitch",
  "action": "streams",
  "params": {
    "game": "Just Chatting"
  }
}'

[OpenAPI definition (JSON)]Samples read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable; copied code never contains your key.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

Errors and billing

401

Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.

422

Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.

402

Insufficient balance. Top up first.

429

The account's per-minute request limit was reached (all of its API keys count together; a key's own lower limit applies first). Wait for Retry-After and try again; a rate package in the console raises the limit.

503

Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.

200 empty

The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

• Twitch: Live Stream Categories and Current Viewer Counts ↗

  Official live stream documentation distinguishes categories, channels, and current live streams, defining viewer_count as the number of users currently watching the stream. It is not a Clip view count, follower count, or historical total view count; the official game_id parameter does not replace the category name required by this page.
