# Kick Top Channels API

A short list of the biggest channels, with follower counts and live flags, for leaderboards and discovery screens.

`GET /v1/kick/top-channels` returns `data.channels`, ordered by follower count, with `id`, `slug`, `username`, `avatarUrl`, `followers`, `isLive`, `isVerified` and `url`. Set `limit` from 1 to 100.

The route returns one list and does not page, so there is no cursor. Use `data.channels[].slug` to open a full profile or a channel's videos and clips. An empty list is `lookupStatus: found`, not a miss.

## FAQ

### How are top channels ordered?

By follower count, from the largest. Each row also carries isLive, so you can split the list into live and offline channels without another call.

### Can I set a limit?

Yes. Send limit from 1 to 100. The default limit is 100. The route returns a single list with no cursor.

### How do I get more detail on a channel in the list?

Take data.channels[].slug and call GET /v1/kick/channels/{slug} for the profile, or /videos, /clips and /chatters for the channel's parts.

### How many credits does a top channels 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.
