Twitch Developer Documentation

Reviews for chatbot verification continue to be temporarily paused while we revise our processes. Reviews for Extensions, developer organizations, and game ownership have resumed. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We've revised the Developer Services Agreement to include subscription-based Twitch Drops, and reorganized related Drops information. Game developers who currently or plan to use Twitch Drops should take a moment to review the revised Agreement.

Welcome to the Twitch developer documentation site. Here you’ll find the information needed to develop third-party experiences with Twitch.
