Type any name and vodfetch asks Twitch's public API live whether a channel with that username exists — including its display name, creation date, Partner status and whether it's streaming right now.

Whether you're picking a name for a new channel, checking if a streamer you heard about actually exists, or need the exact login for another tool, this checker gives you a straight answer from Twitch itself — in your browser, with nothing stored. One honest caveat: if no channel shows up, the name is not in use right now, but that does not always mean you can register it. Twitch holds back the names of renamed, suspended and reserved accounts, and enforces its username policy at signup. The checker tells you what exists; the final word on claiming a name always happens at Twitch's signup form.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I check if a Twitch username is taken?

Type the name into the checker above and click Check. vodfetch queries Twitch's public API and tells you whether a channel with that exact username exists, along with its creation date and Partner status.

### If no channel shows up, can I register the name?

Not guaranteed. A name with no existing channel is not in use right now, but Twitch blocks names of suspended accounts, holds renamed users' old names for a period, and reserves some names entirely. The definitive check is Twitch's own signup or username-change form.

### Can I see when a Twitch account was created?

Yes — when the username exists, the checker shows the account's creation date, which is handy for spotting impersonators or verifying how old a channel really is.

### Can I download videos from a channel I find here?

Yes. When a channel exists, one click takes you to vodfetch's channel browser, which lists its recent VODs and most-viewed clips — each with a free MP4 download.
