How do I check if a Twitch channel is live?

Short answer: You can get stream info in Twitch by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Twitch Get Stream Info action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get Stream Info.

What does the Get Stream Info action do in Twitch?
Fetches the current live stream details for a Twitch user (title, game, viewer count, started_at). Returns empty if the channel is offline.
What inputs does Get Stream Info require?
Required: Channel Username. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Twitch returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Get Stream Info support batch operations?
Yes. Run Get Stream Info inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Twitch's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
