# Archive Kick Stream VODs Before They Are Deleted

**Use case:** 

Archive Kick stream VODs before they are deleted by turning on watchlist mode. Each scheduled run remembers what you already saved for a channel and downloads only the new broadcasts, so a removed recording is not lost. Built for streamers protecting their own back catalogue and archivists tracking public channels. The Watchlist changes view lists what each run added.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/getascraper/kick-video-downloader.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
