Twitch Downloader

About

Twitch Downloader is a free utility made to download Twitch content (streams, videos, highlights, clips).

Current version: 1.1.0

Planned features:

How to execute

GUI

npm install
npm run start

It will open a new window with the GUI. Enter the URL of the stream, video, highlight or clip you want to download. Then, select the folder, file name and click on Get Qualities button. Then, select the quality you want to download and click on Download button.

Terminal

npm install
npm run start:terminal

The terminal will ask you for the full URL of the content you want to download:

• Step 1: Enter the full URL of the content you want to download, for example: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/365670422
• Step 1.5: If the entered URL is a live stream, it will ask you to download it when it starts or not. This means that if you press yes, it will automatically download it when it starts, with the original quality. If no, then it will ask you for the quality you want to download when it starts, but if the live ended before you set the quality, it will not download it.
• Step 2: Enter the path to download the video, it can be relative or absolute, and the file name. If no filename is passed, the default name will be the video ID. NOTE: It will always save the file as .mp4. For example: /home/sergio/downloads/awesomeVideo.mp4
• Step 3: Enter the quality you want to download from the selector (use the arrows). For example: 1080p60
• It will start downloading the video, and you will see the progress in the terminal.

NOTE: If you put a live stream URL, it will download from the current time, and it will keep downloading until the stream ends. For example: https://www.twitch.tv/twitch. It may display a wrong progress because it's not possible to know the total size of the stream.

NOTE: After entering a path to download the content, the directory structure will be created if it does not exist. Windows users: The absolute path must be for example: C:\Users\torre\Downloads\awesomeVideo.mp4

How to download massively

• Create a .txt file with the URLs of the content you want to download, one per line (line break separator).
• Enter the path of the .txt file in the first input of the program. Then, it will ask the download path and resolution.
• You can use the test/tmp/list.txt file as example.

Note: Since March 2023, Twitch has retired the old API, so it's not possible to get sub-only content. All the other features will work as expected.
