SHOWROOM Live Streaming API

healthy 4,596 Subscribers

Live data from SHOWROOM (showroom-live.com), the Japanese live-streaming platform built around idols and talent, read keyless from its public web API. SHOWROOM is where AKB48, Nogizaka46 and thousands of aspiring idols, voice actors and creators broadcast and where fans send virtual gifts in real time — a streaming culture quite unlike Twitch or Kick. This exposes who is live right now, how many are watching, which genres are hot and each room's standing. The live endpoint lists the rooms broadcasting right now across every genre, ranked by viewers, each with its streamer name, current viewer count, genre and how long it has been live (the "Popularity" overlay is de-duplicated so every room is counted once under its real category). The genres endpoint aggregates the live picture by category — idols, talents, virtual streamers, music and more — with each genre's number of live rooms and total viewers, so you can see where the audience is. The room endpoint returns one room's profile by its room id: the room name, its follower count, its room level (SHOWROOM's standing metric) and whether it is live now. This is the SHOWROOM platform cut — a distinct social/streaming platform, separate from the Twitch, Kick, Bilibili, Niconico and other feeds in the catalogue. Viewer and follower counts are live; nothing is stored beyond a short cache. Counts are integers; times are UTC.

CHZZK Live Streaming API

Live data from CHZZK (chzzk.naver.com), the Korean live-streaming platform built and run by Naver, Korea's dominant web portal. CHZZK rose fast after Twitch withdrew from Korea and is now one of the country's two big streaming platforms alongside SOOP — gamers, just-chatting, sports and esports broadcasters streaming to large Korean audiences. The live endpoint lists the streams on air right now ranked by current viewers, each with its channel name, title, concurrent viewer count, this broadcast's accumulated viewers, category and how long it has been live. The categories endpoint aggregates the top live streams by category (the games and genres pulling the biggest audiences right now). The channel endpoint returns one channel's profile by its 32-character channel id: follower count, verified status, description and whether it is live now. The search endpoint finds CHZZK channels by keyword, each with follower count and live status. This is the CHZZK platform cut — a distinct social/streaming platform, separate from the SOOP, SHOWROOM, Niconico, Twitch, Kick, Bilibili and other feeds in the catalogue. Viewer and follower counts are live integers; broadcast start times are KST as the platform reports them. Keyless public source, nothing stored beyond a short cache.

SOOP (AfreecaTV) Live Streaming API

Live data from SOOP (formerly AfreecaTV, sooplive.co.kr), South Korea's biggest live-streaming platform, read keyless from its public web API. SOOP is where Korea's "BJ" broadcasters stream games, talk, music and just-chatting to audiences that send star-balloon gifts in real time — the platform that defined Korean streaming culture, much bigger there than Twitch. This exposes who is broadcasting live right now, how many are watching, which categories are hot and each broadcaster's standing. The live endpoint lists the top broadcasts on air right now, ranked by current viewers, each with its BJ (broadcaster) name, title, viewer count, category and how long it has been live. The categories endpoint aggregates the top live broadcasts by category — the games and genres pulling the biggest audiences right now. The station endpoint returns one broadcaster's channel profile by their BJ id: follower count, the all-time views and visits their channel has drawn, when they joined, their total hours broadcast, their partner/best-BJ status and whether they are live now. This is the SOOP platform cut — a distinct social/streaming platform, separate from the Twitch, Kick, SHOWROOM, Bilibili and other feeds in the catalogue. Viewer and follower counts are live; nothing is stored beyond a short cache. Counts are integers; times are reported by the platform (KST).

Kick API

Live channel, stream and category data from Kick — the fast-growing live-streaming platform and the main Twitch challenger — with no account and no key. The channel endpoint resolves any Kick channel by its slug (the name in kick.com/<slug>) to its profile: follower count, verified status, whether it is live right now and — when live — the current viewer count, stream title and category, plus the streamer's bio and the categories they have recently streamed. The live endpoint is the discovery view: the top live streams across all of Kick right now, ranked by viewer count, each with the streamer, title, category, viewers, language and how long it has been live. The categories endpoint ranks the top categories (games and sections) by how many viewers are watching them across the platform right now — the live pulse of what Kick is watching. The search endpoint finds channels by name. This is the Kick platform cut — a distinct social/streaming platform, separate from the Twitch, YouTube, TikTok and other platform APIs in the catalogue. Follower and viewer counts are live; ideal for streaming dashboards, creator-analytics, discovery and social-monitoring tools.

Hatena Bookmark API

Japan's biggest social-bookmarking trends from Hatena Bookmark (b.hatena.ne.jp), read keyless. "Hatebu" is the Japanese internet's collective save button: when something is worth reading, Japanese users bookmark it, and the most-bookmarked links become the country's de-facto trending list across technology, society, business, life, learning, fun and games. The hot endpoint returns the established popular entries for a category — the links that have gathered the most bookmarks. The new endpoint returns the newly-rising entries gaining bookmarks fast right now, the leading edge before they hit the hot list. Each entry carries its title, URL, bookmark count, category and date. The count endpoint looks up the exact bookmark count for any one or more URLs — useful to gauge how much attention a page (yours or a competitor's) has drawn on the Japanese web. This is the Hatena Bookmark cut — a distinct social-bookmarking platform, separate from the developer, blogging and streaming feeds in the catalogue, and the cleanest read on Japanese-web attention. Bookmark counts are the real, live numbers Hatena shows; titles are Japanese as Hatena publishes them (HTML entities decoded). A short cache fronts the upstream. Keyless.
