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.

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 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 User support batch operations?

Yes. Run Get User inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Twitch's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
