🔥 Kick Trending Clips Scraper: Rank Viral Clips by View Velocity

Find Kick clips accelerating right now Ranked by views per hour, not just a high lifetime total, so you catch a clip while it's still rising instead of after everyone already saw it.

⚡ Ranked by velocity Views per hour, not lifetime total, so rising clips surface before old ones with a bigger count.

🎯 Scope it your way Scan the whole site, one or more categories, or a specific list of channels.

🔔 Monitor mode Schedule it and only get clips you have not already seen in an earlier run.

🧹 Honest fields only Every field comes straight from Kick. Nothing guessed, nothing invented.

Scan Kick for clips gaining views fast, ranked by views per hour or total views, across the whole site, a category, or specific channels. Export results to JSON, CSV or Excel, or connect them into your own pipeline via the API. No account, no login, no coding required.

✨ Why use this Actor

Built for anyone who needs to know what is taking off on Kick before the rest of the internet notices.

• 🎬 Clip compilation creators: cut the clip that is climbing right now, not the one that already peaked last week.
• 🔍 Talent scouts and community managers: spot who is breaking out in a category or channel before it shows up anywhere else.
• 📅 Scheduled trend trackers: run it on a timer with monitor mode and only review clips you have not already seen.

Velocity is the real signal. A clip with 10,000 views over three months is not trending, it is just old. This Actor ranks by views gained per hour since a clip was posted, so what surfaces is what is actually happening now.

🚀 How it works

STEP 1 Pick your scope Whole site, one or more categories, or a list of channels.

STEP 2 Set your bar Minimum views, minimum velocity, freshness window, duration cap.

STEP 3 Get ranked clips Sorted by velocity or views, ready to review, download, or pipe elsewhere.

🛠️ Tips for better runs

• Raise scanDepth if you widen timeWindowHours or narrow categories/channels. A wider window or a narrower target needs more clips scanned to find enough matches.
• Use minViewsPerHour instead of minViews when you specifically want clips that are actively accelerating, not just clips that happen to be old and popular.
• Turn on onlyNew and schedule the Actor to get a running feed of newly trending clips instead of the same ones every time.
• Start with mode: "channel" and a short list of channels you already care about. It scans that channel's own feed directly, so results are complete rather than a sample.

❓ FAQ

Why does this rank by views per hour instead of total views? Total views reward age, not momentum. A clip posted months ago can out-count a clip posted an hour ago just by existing longer. Views per hour surfaces what is actually gaining attention right now, which is the useful signal for finding something worth clipping or covering before it peaks.

Why is likes always 0? That is Kick's own data, not a limitation of this Actor. Kick's public clip data currently reports 0 likes for every clip on the platform. The field is still included because it is real data Kick returns, not removed to hide the gap.

Can I track just one category or a handful of channels? Yes. Set mode to category or channel and list the categories or channels you want. Channel scope scans that channel's own feed directly, so it is complete rather than sampled from the wider site.

How do I get an ongoing feed instead of re-scanning the same clips? Turn on onlyNew and run the Actor on a schedule. Each run only returns clips it has not already returned to you for that same scope.
