What is the Kick Scraper?

The Kick Scraper is an Apify actor that pulls metadata from any Kick.com VOD, clip, or live-channel page. Drop in a list of URLs (channels, VODs, clips) and get back a clean dataset with title, duration, view count, streamer name, game/category, formats available, upload date, thumbnail. No video download — pure metadata extraction.

Useful for tracking the rapidly-growing Twitch alternative — Kick has become a major streaming platform in 2024-2026, especially for streamers who left Twitch over policy changes.

• Multi-platform creator analytics — combine Kick data with Twitch and YouTube for full creator-economy view.
• Brand sponsorship targeting — find rising Kick streamers in a given game/category.
• Content trends — surface trending Kick VODs by game category.

FAQ — Kick.com API alternatives

Does Kick have an official API? Yes but it's gated and lacks bulk-scraping support. This scraper bypasses with HTTP-only access.

Does it support live-stream metadata? Yes — for live channels, the actor returns the current stream data (title, viewers, category) as a snapshot.

How fast for bulk? ~3-5 videos per second per actor instance. For 10K videos, run 4-8 concurrent actor runs.

Why not just use yt-dlp? yt-dlp returns raw metadata; this actor normalizes the schema across video types and adds Apify dataset structure for analytics.
