How do I get a Twitch user profile?
Short answer: You can get user in Twitch by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Twitch Get User 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.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Username login | string | Required | Username. Example: ninja |
Sample request
{"login": "e.g. ninja"}
Returns
{"data": [{"id": "123456","login": "ninja","created_at": "2011-11-20T00:00:00Z","view_count": 500000000,"display_name": "Ninja","broadcaster_type": "partner","profile_image_url": "https://..."}]}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Get User.
What does the Get User action do in Twitch?
Fetches a Twitch user's profile (login, display name, broadcaster type, description, view count) by user ID or login.
What inputs does Get User require?
Required: 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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Twitch returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Get User support batch operations?
Run Get User inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Twitch's rate limits.
