Is there any API to get live stream live screenshots?
The Streams API only returns the a single current thumbnail, the only used in directory views.
And that is updated periodically on Twitch’s own schedule.
See thumbnail_url in the response for
Thanks Barry,
Yes I understand that. But I’m looking for getting images as refreshed.
Please let me know if there is any API for live images?
Other than the thumbnail_url from the Get Streams endpoint that Barry mentioned, there is no way through Twitch to get an image of the stream.
A non-Twitch option would be to develop software that the broadcasters you wish to get images from integrates with their broadcasting software, such as OBS, that lets you save whatever is currently in the frame buffer and send it to you.
