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.
