Live streaming news for Twitch, YouTube Gaming, Kick and others

Streams Charts, the livestreaming analytics platform, has made its API available for self-serve use by developers, researchers and media companies. The API provides access to channel, stream, game, ranked-list, and live snapshot data across nine platforms: Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Rumble, SOOP Korea, CHZZK, NimoTV, Bigo Live and SteamTV. Teams tracking streaming trends across multiple platforms have typically had to integrate each platform's API separately or build and maintain custom scrapers for each service. Streams Charts removes that complexity by bringing data from all nine platforms into a single API, with a live endpoint refreshed every five minutes for real-time queries.   The example of the Streams Charts API request and response using the Claude Code skill    "Anyone comparing Twitch to Kick or Korean platforms today spends most of the work reconciling formats rather than analyzing the market," said Nazar Babenko, Product Manager at Streams Charts. "We already normalize that data to run our own platform. Opening it through one schema means a team can go from sign-up to a cross-platform query the same day." Pricing is credit-based and published per endpoint: core stats cost 1 credit per request, enrichment data costs 2 credits, and streamer-list endpoints cost 5 or 10 credits. This gives users a predictable way to budget API usage before building. Monthly plans range from 500 to 5,000 credits, priced from $199 to $1,099. New users can make their first live API request at no cost: the top 100 Twitch channels over a 7-day window, with no credits required. For integration testing, a separate free testing mode provides schema-accurate sample responses without consuming credits, allowing teams to build and review integrations before using paid requests. Documentation is written for both human developers and AI coding agents, including a dedicated Claude Code skill that lets an agent query the API within an existing workflow without requiring a hand-written integration layer. The API is available now at streamscharts.com/api, with full documentation, per-platform landing pages, and sign-up for the free first request.
