Twitch Tracker Node

Actions2

Overview

The Twitch Tracker node provides analytics data from TwitchTracker.com, a third-party service that aggregates Twitch streaming statistics. Specifically, the "Get Channel Summary" operation retrieves detailed summary information about a specific Twitch channel based on its exact channel name.

This node is useful for streamers, marketers, or analysts who want to monitor Twitch channel performance metrics such as follower counts, viewership trends, and other aggregated statistics without directly querying Twitch's official API. For example, a user could automate daily reports on their favorite streamers or competitors by fetching channel summaries regularly.

Properties

Name Meaning
Operation The action to perform. Options: "Get Channel Summary" or "Get Game Summary".
Channel ID The exact Twitch channel name as it appears in the URL of the channel's homepage. This identifies which channel's summary to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the channel summary information returned by the TwitchTracker API endpoint /channels/summary/{channelId}. This typically includes various statistics and metadata about the specified Twitch channel, such as follower counts, average viewers, total views, and possibly historical trends.

No binary data output is indicated or expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the TwitchTracker.com public API at https://twitchtracker.com/api.
  • No explicit authentication or API key is shown in the code, implying the endpoint may be publicly accessible or handled elsewhere.
  • The node depends on n8n's HTTP request capabilities configured with the base URL set to TwitchTracker's API.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Channel ID: If the provided channel name does not exactly match a valid Twitch channel, the API may return an error or empty data. Ensure the channel name matches the URL slug precisely.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to twitchtracker.com will cause request failures. Verify network access and API availability.
  • API Changes: Since this relies on a third-party API, any changes or downtime on TwitchTracker.com can affect node functionality.
  • Empty or Unexpected Data: If the response structure changes, downstream processing might fail. Inspect raw output to adjust workflows accordingly.
