# Kick Channel API

One slug in, the whole channel out: profile, socials, chat rules, links, badges, recent categories and the live stream when there is one.

`GET /v1/kick/channels/{slug}` returns `data.channel` with `id`, `userId`, `slug`, `url`, `username`, `bio`, `avatarUrl`, `socials`, `followers`, `isVerified`, `isAffiliate`, `isBanned`, `subscription`, `subscriberBadges`, `chat`, `links`, `recentCategories` and `livestream`.

Channel slugs are case-insensitive and can contain letters, digits, underscores and hyphens. The canonical form comes back in `data.channel.slug`, which is the value the other channel routes use. An unknown slug returns `data.lookupStatus: not_found` and `data.channel: null`. The HTTP status stays 200 because the request itself completed.

## FAQ

### How do I look up a Kick channel by slug?

Call GET /v1/kick/channels/{slug} with your Social Fetch API key in x-api-key. Use the slug, for example xqc or pala_okey. Read data.lookupStatus, then data.channel for the profile.

### What is in the channel profile?

data.channel includes bio, avatarUrl, url, followers, isVerified, isAffiliate, isBanned, vodEnabled, subscriptionEnabled, subscription.priceUsd, subscriberBadges, chat modes, socials, link panels, recentCategories and livestream. A link panel with no target is omitted; a panel's title and imageUrl are null when the channel data does not include them. livestream is null while the channel is offline.

### What happens for an unknown channel?

The response is lookupStatus: not_found with channel: null and HTTP 200. Treat that as a completed miss, not a transport error, and check lookupStatus before storing a row.

### How many credits does a channel lookup 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.
