List of channels by different metrics and filters
You can get any specific channel top in our API by selecting the necessary filters. Streamers can be filtered by game, broadcast language, partner status, age, country, and other parameters. Here you can also select the time period for which you want the data — from the last 7 days to the statistics for the year (365 days).
Available filters
Each request will be sorted by Hours Watched by default. Other sorting options you can see below. The maximum period of time per request is 365 days, with the number of rows per request equal to 100.

If you combine, for example, filter by the language (which costs 20 credits) with filter by country (which costs 40 credits), the system will charge the bigger amount - 40 credits.
Available platforms

Exclude filters
Our API also supports filter exclusion mode. Use the ‘!’ sign before the filter value to do this. For example, if you want to exclude all female streamers from the Twitch channels list for the last 7 days, your request would look like this:
Use your Client ID and token instead of "XXXXXXXXXXXX" and "YYYYYYYYYYYYYY", which you can find here.
How to access the list of channels data set
You will need a Client ID and a token to use Streams Charts API. Your Client ID is bound to your account and can never be changed, but you can change your access token anytime for security reasons.
Use the example request below to see how it works with a list of channels with no specific filters. The TOP 100 Twitch channels for the past seven days are for free, we will not charge credits for that.
Use your Client ID and token instead of "XXXXXXXXXXXX" and "YYYYYYYYYYYYYY", which you can find here.
The response you would get would be a JSON response that contains something like a sample response:
