Kick.com Scraper: Live Streams, Streamers, Clips & Rankings

What does Kick.com Scraper: Live Streams, Streamers, Clips & Rankings do?

Kick.com Scraper returns live and profile data from Kick.com, the streaming platform that competes with Twitch, with no API key and no login: who is live right now (viewers, category, language, title), channel rankings, streamer profiles (followers, verification, social links, subscriber badges), VODs, clips and the category list. Filter live streams by category, language and minimum viewers.

2. Choose what you want in the input form. The default returns the top live channels right now. Press Start.

Use it as a live API (Actor Standby)

Need an answer right now instead of starting a run? This Actor also works as an always-on HTTP endpoint (Apify Actor Standby). Send a request, get JSON back in seconds.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  "https://mrdoe--kick-scraper-streams-streamers-clips.apify.actor/?mode=top_channels&maxResults=10"

import requests
r = requests.get(
    "https://mrdoe--kick-scraper-streams-streamers-clips.apify.actor/",
    params={"mode": "top_channels", "maxResults": "10"},
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"},
    timeout=90,
)
print(r.json()["items"])

const res = await fetch("https://mrdoe--kick-scraper-streams-streamers-clips.apify.actor/?mode=top_channels&maxResults=10", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.APIFY_TOKEN}` },
});
const { count, items } = await res.json();

You can also POST a JSON body with the same fields as the Actor input. The response is { "count": 1, "items": [ ... ] }; if something is wrong with your request you get a clear error message.

	Standby API	Normal run

Tips for best results

• Use top_channels on a schedule to build a viewership history per category.
• Use the category slug from the categories mode (for example grand-theft-auto-v-gta).
• Set language to see streams in other languages, for example es or pt.
• Use minViewers to skip tiny channels when scouting.

Known limitations

• Live data is a snapshot at run time; viewer counts change every minute.
• Channels that are offline show isLive: false and no current stream fields.
• Private or banned channels return no row.
