# Kick Category Groups API

The six top-level groups that sit above Kick's categories, for navigation and filtering screens.

`GET /v1/kick/category-groups` returns `data.groups` with `id`, `name`, `slug` and `icon` for each top-level group. Use a group id with `GET /v1/kick/livestreams?groupId=` to narrow the live directory, or use a group slug to group categories in your UI.

## FAQ

### What are category groups?

Kick groups its categories under top-level names such as Games, IRL, Music and Gambling. Each group has an id and slug you can use as a filter.

### How many credits does it cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.
