Get familiar with the basic functionalities of the Twitch API and learn to handle its integration with your projects

Ace the APIs for Entertainment Applications

The Twitch API is a set of protocols that allows developers to build applications that can search for and play streams, retrieve information about Twitch users and channels, and more. In this module, we’ll walk through Twitch's REST API. We’ll then look at the different tools that Twitch APIs provide and that developers can use in their applications, including tools to manage user profiles and channels, create and update streaming schedules, and clip videos. By the end of this module, we will be familiar with the uses of Twitch API.

Twitch API

On the surface, videos and clips might sound like the same thing. However, they're different forms of content on Twitch.
**Videos** are created by streamers to be displayed on their profiles. They may be reuploads of a past stream, trailers for their channels, and so on. 

On the other hand, **clips** are short, 30-second snippets, created by viewers from a streamer's live stream or a previously uploaded video. These clips are displayed on the streamer's profile and are sorted by the number of views.
