How to Scrape Twitch — Free No-Code Guide (2026)

#twitch #webscraping #api #python

If you need to pull Twitch data at scale and there's no clean official API, this guide shows how to export it to JSON, CSV or Excel in a couple of minutes — with no scraping code to maintain.

We'll use the Twitch Scraper — Streams, Games, Channels & Clips API, a hosted scraper on the Apify platform. You only need a free Apify token — no Twitch login, no proxies, no reverse-engineering.

What data you get

Each run returns structured records with fields like:

_mode
login
displayName
name
gameName
viewersCount
viewCount
followers
twitchUrl
scrapedAt
title
startedAt
tags
isPartner

Results are paginated automatically — you can pull thousands of rows per run and export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, JSONL or XML.

Option 1 — No code (Apify Console)

Open the actor: https://apify.com/logiover/twitch-scraper
Click Try for free.
Leave the input empty for a broad sample, or set the fields below.
Run it, then Export the dataset as CSV/JSON/Excel.

Option 2 — Node.js

npm install apify-twitch-scraper

const scrape = require("apify-twitch-scraper");

(async () => {
  const items = await scrape({}, { token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
  console.log(items.length, "results");
  console.log(items[0]);
})();

Option 3 — Python

pip install twitch-scraper

from twitch_scraper import scrape

items = scrape({}, token="YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
print(len(items), "results")
print(items[0])
