We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  1. Distinctive:

    You need live stream status or chat: Not covered here. Twitch's own API and EventSub handle real-time state properly.

    line 46
  2. Very specific:

    Every script also accepts --limit, --cursor, --fields, --format and --fresh.

    line 71
  3. Distinctive:

    Every response uses the same envelope:

    line 79
  4. Distinctive:

    Not reliably — there is no live-status endpoint here, and responses may be cached.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Twitch API skill

Read public Twitch data as clean JSON. This Twitch API skill returns a streamer's profile, a single clip, or a channel's video listing — 2 credits each. It is the quick read for creator research on Twitch when you do not want to register an application and manage OAuth tokens.

This skill wraps 3 live Twitch endpoints from the ScraperSocial API. Public data only, returned as clean JSON.

When to use this skill

  • You are researching a streamer: their profile, their recent videos, their clips.
  • A user pastes a Twitch clip and asks what it is or who made it.
  • You are building a cross-platform creator profile that includes Twitch.

Do not use this skill when

  • You need live stream status or chat. Not covered here. Twitch's own API and EventSub handle real-time state properly.
  • You are building a Twitch integration proper. The official API is free, richer and supports subscriptions to live events.
  • You need viewer or revenue analytics. Account-scoped and not public.

Setup

export SCRAPERSOCIAL_KEY=sk_live_...   # https://scrapersocial.com/app/keys

Permissions and scope

These scripts do exactly three things and nothing else: read one environment variable (SCRAPERSOCIAL_KEY), send HTTPS requests to https://api.scrapersocial.com (the host is a constant in the code, not configurable), and print JSON. They run as node scripts/<name>.js with no other shell use, no file writes and no persistence. call_endpoint.js accepts only the 3 documented /v1/twitch/ paths in the table below and refuses anything else before a request is made.

Every script also accepts --limit, --cursor, --fields, --format and --fresh. --limit is clamped to 50: above that the API returns an async job instead of data.

Example

node skills/twitch-api/scripts/get_profile.js <streamer-handle>

Every response uses the same envelope:

{ "data": {}, "meta": { "count": 20, "next_cursor": "..." }, "request_id": "a18e4ef88ad4b00b" }

meta appears on paginated endpoints only. Keep request_id — support traces calls with it.

FAQ

What can I get from Twitch?

Three endpoints at 2 credits each: get_profile.js for a streamer, get_clip.js for a clip, and get_user_videos.js for a channel's videos.

Can I tell whether someone is live right now?

Not reliably — there is no live-status endpoint here, and responses may be cached. Use Twitch's own API for real-time state.

Is this an official Twitch API?

No. ScraperSocial is independent and not affiliated with Twitch or Amazon. It returns publicly available data only.
