TL;DR

Twitch channel schedule — startAt/endAt, title, game, isRecurring (0 credits when empty). The Twitch User Schedule API (Twitch) is a single authenticated GET request to /v1/twitch/user-schedule that responds with clean JSON and costs 1 credit. Pass cache=true for a free 24h cache hit; default is always fresh. Start with 100 free credits — no credit card.

What is the Twitch User Schedule API?

Pass a Twitch channel URL or username and get upcoming schedule segments as clean JSON. Each segment: id (stable segment key for dedup), title and game/gameId when Twitch exposes them, startAt/endAt (future-events tense — not startedAt/endedAt), isRecurring (false on one-offs, never null), isCancelled, canceledUntil (skip segments where this is set — a canceled broadcast still appears in Twitch's list), firstOccurrenceAt only when isRecurring is true. This is the canonical full schedule; twitch/profile.schedule[] is only a short preview (up to 10). Anonymous GQL does not expose timezone or vacation mode. Empty schedule (totalReturned=0) is 0 credits. Pass limit (default 50, max 100).

What you get

Segment id + isRecurring + canceledUntil / isCancelled
startAt/endAt only (no past-tense startedAt twin on a future event)
title + game/gameId when the segment has them
Canonical full schedule — profile.schedule[] is a lean preview only

Frequently asked questions

What does the Twitch User Schedule API do?+

The Twitch User Schedule API lets you list items in bulk with metadata from a public Twitch user schedule using one GET request to /v1/twitch/user-schedule. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or infrastructure setup required.

How many credits does the Twitch User Schedule API cost?+

Each successful call costs 1 credit. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Failed or empty results are never charged.

Do I need a Twitch API key or OAuth?+

No. A single Captapi key works across every platform Captapi supports — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Rumble, Spotify, Kwai, and more. We handle proxies, rate limits, retries, and authentication for you.

Do empty schedules cost a credit?+

No. totalReturned=0 bills 0 credits — same published line as the rest of the catalogue.

Why startAt and not startedAt?+

These segments are upcoming. startedAt is past tense (and was a duplicate of startAt). firstOccurrenceAt is omitted on one-offs — not present as null.

Is the Twitch User Schedule API suitable for production use?+

Yes. It is a stable REST endpoint with predictable JSON and automatic retries. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Use it for analytics, monitoring, and content automation.
