Frequently asked questions
What does the Twitch Profile API do?
The Twitch Profile API lets you fetch profile or page details and audience stats from a public Twitch profile or page using one GET request to /v1/twitch/profile. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or infrastructure setup required.
How many credits does the Twitch Profile API cost?
Each successful call costs 1 credit. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h shared cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. 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.
Is the Twitch Profile 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 shared cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Use it for analytics, monitoring, and content automation.
