Channels, streams & lists
Three object types organize the entire API.
Channel
A dedicated account on a streaming platform tied to a person or company — for example xQc, ibai, or BLASTPremier. Channel endpoints aggregate metrics over a time window. See Channels.
Stream
A single broadcast, also called a stream. Stream endpoints return metrics for one specific broadcast, optionally narrowed to a slice of its runtime. See Streams.
Game / category
A game or category streamed on a platform — for example League of Legends or Just Chatting. Game endpoints aggregate viewership and channel counts over a time window, individually or as a ranked list. See Games.
Live snapshot
A real-time list of every channel broadcasting right now across every platform in the API, refreshed every 5 minutes. Unlike aggregated lists, it reflects the current moment rather than a time window. See Live.
List of channels
A ranked, filterable collection of channels — sorted by a metric (Hours Watched, Followers Gain, Subscribers, Bits…) and narrowed by filters (game, language, country, and more). Lists are how you discover creators rather than monitor a known one. See Lists.
