Twitch Tracker

Twitch Tracker Node

Actions2

Overview

The Twitch Tracker node provides analytics data from the TwitchTracker API, focusing on Twitch channels and games. Specifically, the "Get Game Summary" operation retrieves detailed summary information about a particular game on Twitch. This can be useful for streamers, marketers, or analysts who want to monitor game popularity, viewership trends, or other aggregated statistics related to a specific game.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching current statistics for a game before deciding to stream it.
  • Analyzing game performance over time for content strategy.
  • Integrating game summary data into dashboards or reports.

Properties

Name Meaning
Game ID or Name The exact name or ID of the game as it appears in the URL on the game's TwitchTracker page.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the summary details of the specified game. This typically includes metrics such as viewership statistics, follower counts, and other aggregated analytics relevant to the game on TwitchTracker. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally provides comprehensive game-related analytics.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the TwitchTracker API at https://twitchtracker.com/api.
  • No explicit mention of authentication or API keys in the provided code, so either the API is public or credentials are managed elsewhere.
  • Network connectivity to TwitchTracker's API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Empty or incorrect game ID/name: If the "Game ID or Name" property is not exactly as required (matching the URL segment on TwitchTracker), the API call may fail or return no data. Ensure the input matches precisely.
  • Network errors: Connectivity issues to the TwitchTracker API will cause failures; verify network access.
  • Unexpected API changes: If TwitchTracker modifies their API endpoints or response formats, the node might not work correctly until updated.
  • Missing or invalid responses: If the API returns errors or empty results, check if the game exists or if the service is temporarily down.
