Twitch Profile Scraper API

The Twitch Profile endpoint is one API call: send an account handle with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull a Twitch channel from a handle: bio, follower count, partner or affiliate status, and whether it is live right now. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when Twitch changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON.

The call

One GET, and the profile comes back as JSON.

Your key goes in one header. 1 required parameter, and the answer is the object below it.

How it works

Scraping Twitch profile, in three steps.

Twitch profile questions

Answered before you ask.

The reference

Send one authenticated HTTPS request to the Twitch Profile endpoint with an account handle and your HProxy API key. Pull a Twitch channel from a handle: bio, follower count, partner or affiliate status, and whether it is live right now. No proxies, no headless browser and no parsing on your side. The response is ready-to-use JSON.

This endpoint is 0.15¢ per successful call, which is $1.49 per 1,000. It bills from your HProxy balance with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Errors are retried and never charged; a lookup whose target does not exist counts as a call.

The API only accesses publicly available Twitch data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and Twitch's terms for your use case.

A structured JSON object with the full profile data Twitch exposes publicly. See the fields listed above. The schema is consistent across calls, so you integrate once and rely on it.

No. Every call runs on HProxy's own residential network behind the scenes, so requests look like real users. The proxy layer is already included in the per-call price.

Docs and AI

Connect your scraper to an AI, any time.

The whole Scraper API is published as markdown, so an assistant reads every endpoint, every parameter and a real response without a key and writes your integration. And because a scrape is one GET that answers in JSON, an agent can run the scraper itself, on its own schedule, with your key.

The API as markdown

Paste /llms/scraper-api.txt into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Copilot: every endpoint and the whole catalog, in one file. No key and no account to read it.

An agent can call it

One GET with your key returns structured JSON, so an agent scrapes on its own schedule. No browser to drive, no parser to keep alive between runs.

More on the Twitch Profile API

What the Twitch Profile endpoint returns

Pull a Twitch channel from a handle: bio, follower count, partner or affiliate status, and whether it is live right now. The JSON object carries bio / links, counts, isVerified and avatar. Nothing is summarised away on our side, so what you read in the response is what the Twitch profile page itself holds.

What you send to the Twitch Profile API

The call takes an account handle. Required: handle. Optional: trim and cache_max_age. Your key travels in the X-API-Key header, the response is JSON, and the call is billed at 0.15¢, $1.49 per 1,000.

Profiles on other platforms

The same profiles data is available on 18 other platforms: TikTok Profile, Facebook Profile, Instagram Profile, LinkedIn Profile, Twitter / X Profile, Threads Profile, Bluesky Profile, Truth Social Profile, Snapchat Profile, Linkme Profile, YouTube Channel, Reddit Subreddit Details, Spotify Artist, Komi Page, Linkbio Page, Linktree Page, Pillar Page and SoundCloud Artist. They share this endpoint's JSON shape, its per-call billing and your one API key, so moving from Twitch to another network is a change of URL rather than a second integration.

Is scraping Twitch profile allowed?

The endpoint reads publicly available Twitch data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser without logging in. It does not touch private accounts or anything behind a password. How you then use the data is yours to keep lawful, under the rules that apply to you and to Twitch.

Ready when you are.

Your dashboard is ten seconds away. No sales call, no subscription, no minimum.
