Clips Get Clips

Gets clip information by clip ID (one or more), broadcaster ID (one only), or game ID (one only).

The response has a JSON payload with a data field containing an array of clip information elements and a pagination field containing information required to query for more streams.
Entitlements Create Entitlement Grants Upload URL

Creates a URL where you can upload a manifest file and notify users that they have an entitlement. Entitlements are digital items that users are entitled to use. Twitch entitlements are granted to users gratis or as part of a purchase on Twitch.

See the Drops Guide for details about using this endpoint to notify users about Drops.
Entitlements Get Code Status

Codes are redeemable alphanumeric strings tied only to the bits product. This third-party API allows other parties to redeem codes on behalf of users. Third-party app and extension developers can use the API to provide rewards of bits from within their games.

We provide sets of codes to the third party as part of a contract agreement. The third-party program then calls this API to credit the Twitch user by submitting specific code(s). This means that a bits reward can be directly applied without the user having to follow any manual steps (e.g., visiting the Twitch redemption page).

All codes are single-use. Once a code has been redeemed, via either this API or the site page, then the code is no longer valid for any further use.

Streams Create Stream Marker

Creates a marker in the stream of a user specified by a user ID. A marker is an arbitrary point in a stream that the broadcaster wants to mark; e.g., to easily return to later. The marker is created at the current timestamp in the live broadcast when the request is processed. Markers can be created by the stream owner or editors. The user creating the marker is identified by a Bearer token.

Markers cannot be created in some cases (an error will occur):

  • If the specified user’s stream is not live.
  • If VOD (past broadcast) storage is not enabled for the stream.
  • For premieres (live, first-viewing events that combine uploaded videos with live chat).
  • For reruns (subsequent (not live) streaming of any past broadcast, including past premieres).
Streams Get Stream Markers

Gets a list of markers for either a specified user’s most recent stream or a specified VOD/video (stream), ordered by recency. A marker is an arbitrary point in a stream that the broadcaster wants to mark; e.g., to easily return to later. The only markers returned are those created by the user identified by the Bearer token.

The response has a JSON payload with a data field containing an array of marker information elements and a pagination field containing information required to query for more follow information.
Subscriptions Get Broadcaster Subscriptions

Gets all of a broadcaster’s subscriptions.

Applies specified tags to a specified stream, overwriting any existing tags applied to that stream. If no tags are specified, all tags previously applied to the stream are removed. Automated tags are not affected by this operation.

Tags expire 72 hours after they are applied, unless the stream is live within that time period. If the stream is live within the 72-hour window, the 72-hour clock restarts when the stream goes offline. The expiration period is subject to change.
Users Get Users

Gets information about one or more specified Twitch users. Users are identified by optional user IDs and/or login name. If neither a user ID nor a login name is specified, the user is looked up by Bearer token.

after string Cursor for forward pagination: tells the server where to start fetching the next set of results, in a multi-page response. This applies only to queries without extension_id. If an extension_id is specified, it supersedes any cursor/offset combinations. The cursor value specified here is from the pagination response field of a prior query.
ended_at string Ending date/time for returned reports, in RFC3339 format with the hours, minutes, and seconds zeroed out and the UTC timezone: YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00Z. The report covers the entire ending date; e.g., if 2018-05-01T00:00:00Z is specified, the report covers up to 2018-05-01T23:59:59Z.

If this is provided, started_at also must be specified. If ended_at is later than the default end date, the default date is used. Default: 1-2 days before the request was issued (depending on report availability).
extension_id string Client ID value assigned to the extension when it is created. If this is specified, the returned URL points to an analytics report for just the specified extension. If this is not specified, the response includes multiple URLs (paginated), pointing to separate analytics reports for each of the authenticated user’s extensions.
first integer Maximum number of objects to return. Maximum: 100. Default: 20.
started_at string Starting date/time for returned reports, in RFC3339 format with the hours, minutes, and seconds zeroed out and the UTC timezone: YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00Z. This must be on or after January 31, 2018.

If this is provided, ended_at also must be specified. If started_at is earlier than the default start date, the default date is used. Default: January 31, 2018 (overview_v2) or 90 days (overview_v1) before the report was issued. The file contains one row of data per day.
type string Type of analytics report that is returned. If this is specified, the response includes one URL, for the specified report type. If this is not specified, the response includes multiple URLs (paginated), one for each report type available for the authenticated user’s Extensions. Limit: 1.

Optional Query String Parameters

NameTypeDescription
countintegerNumber of results to be returned. Maximum: 100. Default: 10.
periodstringTime period over which data is aggregated (PST time zone). This parameter interacts with started_at. Valid values are given below. Default: "all".
  • "day" – 00:00:00 on the day specified in started_at, through 00:00:00 on the following day.
  • "week" – 00:00:00 on Monday of the week specified in started_at, through 00:00:00 on the following Monday.

Create Stream Marker

✎

Creates a marker in the stream of a user specified by a user ID. A marker is an arbitrary point in a stream that the broadcaster wants to mark; e.g., to easily return to later. The marker is created at the current timestamp in the live broadcast when the request is processed. Markers can be created by the stream owner or editors. The user creating the marker is identified by a Bearer token.

Markers cannot be created in some cases (an error will occur):

  • If the specified user’s stream is not live.
  • If VOD (past broadcast) storage is not enabled for the stream.
  • For premieres (live, first-viewing events that combine uploaded videos with live chat).
  • For reruns (subsequent (not live) streaming of any past broadcast, including past premieres).
