GET /twitch/streams

Get the top live streams for a Twitch game/category

Returns the top currently-live streams for a Twitch game/category, ranked by viewer count: title, viewer count, broadcaster, and tags.

Response behavior

- `streams` is ordered by `viewers_count` descending — Twitch's own default directory sort. - `tags` are the stream's freeform tags (language, event, etc.) as Twitch itself surfaces them, not a curated taxonomy. - An unknown game/category slug returns `404`. A missing `game` returns `400` before any upstream request is made.

API key required. Paste a full key or rotate one from the API Keys page.
