# Kick Channel Emotes API

A channel's emotes and the shared sets together, so a chat renderer can resolve every code in one call.

`GET /v1/kick/channels/{slug}/emotes` returns three lists: `data.channelEmotes`, the emotes the channel owns; `data.globalEmotes`, the shared emotes available everywhere; and `data.emoji`, the shared emoji set. Each entry has `id`, `name` and `subscribersOnly`.

`subscribersOnly` is true for emotes that only subscribers can use, and null when Kick does not say. An unknown channel returns `data.lookupStatus: not_found` with all three arrays empty.

## FAQ

### What is the difference between the three lists?

channelEmotes are the channel's own emotes, globalEmotes are shared across Kick, and emoji is the shared emoji set. A chat renderer usually merges all three and looks codes up by name.

### What does subscribersOnly mean?

True means only subscribers can use the emote. null means Kick does not say. The field is nullable, so check for true explicitly rather than assuming false.

### Does an unknown channel return an error?

No. It returns lookupStatus: not_found with empty channelEmotes, globalEmotes and emoji arrays. The global sets are only attached to a found channel answer.

### How many credits does an emote list 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.
