Frequently Asked Questions
Does the tool require an exact Twitch username match to return follower information?
Yes. The tool looks up a single channel by username and returns that channel’s follower count and metadata.
How accurate is the live streaming status information returned by the tool?
Live status is taken from Twitch’s API at the time of the request. It is accurate at that moment but can change as streams go live or end.
Is the Twitch Follower Checker completely free to use without limitations or credits?
Yes. The tool is free with rate limiting; no credits or payment are required.
What happens if Twitch API rate limits are reached during usage?
You will see an error or retry message. Wait and try again; the tool may show remaining rate limit info.
Can the tool retrieve data for private or restricted Twitch channels?
Only public channel data is available. Private or restricted channels may not return full data from the Twitch API.
How often is the follower count updated and retrieved from Twitch?
The count is fetched at each request. There is no automatic refresh; each lookup uses the latest data from Twitch at that time.
