When to use the Twitch User Schedule API

Use it for planned streams, and expect channel.schedule to be null when the streamer has not published one; user/videos covers past broadcasts.

Twitch API

What can you do with the User Schedule API?

The User Schedule endpoint gives you structured Twitch data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.

Example Request

# GET /v1/twitch/user/schedule: 1 credit per call. Cache hits are free and failed calls are refunded.
# Check the price first for 0 credits: add dry_run=1 to the query. Nothing is fetched or charged.
# --max-time 60: the API's own time limit for this endpoint.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.
IDEMPOTENCY_KEY=$(od -An -N16 -tx1 /dev/urandom | tr -d ' \n')

How do I get a Twitch streamer's schedule?
Send GET /v1/twitch/user/schedule?handle=<username> with your API key. SocialCrawl returns that streamer's published stream schedule, so you can show or track when a channel plans to go live without scraping Twitch yourself.
What parameters does the schedule endpoint accept?
handle is the only input, the streamer's Twitch username. The endpoint resolves that channel and returns its schedule segments in one call, with no OAuth token or developer app to set up.
How much does a Twitch schedule call cost?
Each call is 1 credit, the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card, so you can build a stream-reminder or calendar feature and test it before paying.
What is in the schedule response?
Each segment carries its start and end time, the stream title, and the category or game planned, so you can render a channel's upcoming calendar or trigger a notification when a new slot appears.
Can I build go-live reminders with this?
Yes. Poll the schedule on an interval and compare the segment start times against your last run to notify followers about upcoming streams. It pairs well with the Twitch videos endpoint for full-channel coverage.
