Kick Top Categories API FAQ
How are top categories ordered?
By current viewer count, from the largest. The order moves as streams start and stop, so poll it when you need a fresh ranking.
What is the difference from the categories list?
This route ranks categories by live viewers and carries viewer counts. GET /v1/kick/categories is the deeper catalogue and pages with a cursor.
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.
