Kick API. Channels, streams and clips as JSON.

Channel profiles, live status, a channel's videos, clips, gifter leaderboard, channel-point rewards, goals and emotes, single VODs and clips, global and category clip lists, users, the live directory, top gifted streams, channel search, category groups, the busiest categories, top channels, events, drop campaigns and active chatters.

Use the channel slug, for example xqc, trainwreckstv or pala_okey. Slugs are case-insensitive and can contain letters, digits, underscores and hyphens. An unknown slug returns data.lookupStatus: not_found with channel: null.

data.channel carries id, userId, slug, url, username, bio, avatarUrl, socials, followers, isVerified, isAffiliate, isBanned, subscription, subscriberBadges, chat modes, links, recentCategories and livestream. livestream is null when the channel is offline.

Lists return data.page with page, hasMore, nextCursor and lastPage. Send nextCursor back as cursor with the same filters until hasMore is false. Sortable clip pages drop recently returned ids, so a page can be shorter than a full page even when hasMore is true; keep following nextCursor, and de-duplicate by clips[].id. The last page with rows can still say hasMore is true and be followed by an empty page; stop at the first empty page, which has hasMore false and no nextCursor. Categories also accept page 1 to 20. A channel's videos come back in one page of up to 30 with no paging.

No. A subscriber-only VOD returns lookupStatus: restricted with its public metadata and playbackUrl: null. A normal public VOD returns lookupStatus: found and a public playbackUrl.

GET /v1/kick/livestreams returns up to 100 streams per page. The directory order moves while you walk it, so a row can repeat across cursor pages. De-duplicate by data.streams[].id, or follow page.nextCursor one page at a time.

data.channels, data.categories and data.tags. The query must be at least 3 characters. Double quotes, semicolons, backslashes, ampersands and emoji are refused with HTTP 400 before any request. No match is still lookupStatus: found with empty arrays, so check the array lengths rather than treating an empty answer as an error.

GET /v1/kick/channels/{slug}/livestream returns data.livestream with id, title, category, viewers, language, tags and startedAt when the channel is live, and null when it is offline. On this route startedAt is the stream record's creation time and can differ by a few seconds from the channel route's start time. An unknown slug returns lookupStatus: not_found, so offline and missing are distinct.

GET /v1/kick/channels/{slug}/chatters returns up to 100 named people in data.chatters, with separate moderators, vips, ogs and bots arrays and data.totalCount for everyone in chat. avatarUrl is the real URL, including Kick's default avatar when the person has not set one.

Every Kick route charges a flat amount per completed request, shown on each endpoint page, and each page of a list is billed separately. A found, empty or not-found answer is a completed request and costs that amount; invalid requests and errors are free. Check meta.creditsCharged on every response. New accounts start with 100 free credits.
