Twitch Clip & VOD Downloader API

A Twitch clip link resolves to the clip's own CDN files: an H.264 MP4 at every quality Twitch stores (usually 1080p, 720p, 480p and 360p), each with its exact size read from the CDN, all in one response. A VOD (twitch.tv/videos/…) is different because Twitch publishes it as HLS only: the response still lists every rendition with its size, but each url is ours — the segments are remuxed into an MP4 on the fly and streamed through our server, never re-encoded and never written to disk. The source m3u8 is included as hls if you would rather feed a player directly. Live channel links are refused with a 404 that costs 0.1 credits; subscriber-only VODs come back as PRIVATE_CONTENT.

Worth knowing

Every quality the source already publishes comes back in the same response — each with a ready URL and its exact size. Pick the one you want client-side: there is no second call and no format parameter.

Questions before you build

Do clips and VODs cost the same?
No. A clip is 1.5 credits — it is a ready MP4 on Twitch's CDN and we only hand you the links. A VOD is 3 credits, the same as Rutube, because the file is assembled from HLS segments and streamed through us. The price is per resolve: every rendition's link is in that one response, and fetching one, several or none of them costs nothing more.
How big is a VOD, and how accurate is size_mb?
Large. A streamer's ten-hour archive is roughly 15 GB at 720p60, and even 360p runs about 3 GB. size_mb is measured from a sample of the actual segments, not read from Twitch's bandwidth hint (which is off by up to 40%); expect it within a few percent of the file you receive. The streaming link carries no Content-Length and no Range.
What does a live channel link return?
A 404 explaining that twitch.tv/<channel> is a live stream with nothing to download, billed at 0.1 credits. Send a clip (clips.twitch.tv/… or twitch.tv/<channel>/clip/…) or a VOD (twitch.tv/videos/<id>) instead — both are detected from the link, and old-style twitch.tv/<channel>/video/<id> and player.twitch.tv?video= forms are accepted too.
