Kick Channel Scraper

Kick Channel Scraper

Scrape Kick channel profiles by slug or URL, up to a million per run. Every channel returns its follower count, stream status, bio, and recent videos when enabled. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Kick has no public API for channel data, so tracking streamers means manual checks or brittle workarounds. This Actor reads the public channel pages directly, accepts a list of slugs or full URLs, and returns each profile in one flat row. You can also pull each channel's recent videos as separate dataset items.

What it does

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your channel slugs are correct and that the 'Maximum channels' field is set to a number greater than zero. Also verify the channels are currently public on Kick.

The run is taking too long. How can I speed it up?

Reduce the 'Maximum channels' count or disable 'Include recent videos' if you only need profile data. Using a higher memory Actor plan can also help.

Some channels return an error or empty data.

The channel may have been banned, renamed, or set to private. Double-check the slug on Kick.com and try again.

The video data is missing for a channel that I know has videos.

Ensure the 'Include recent videos' toggle is switched on. If it is, the channel may have no publicly listed recent videos at the time of the run.

I pasted full URLs but the Actor says invalid input.

Make sure each URL is on its own line and starts with 'https://kick.com/'. The Actor accepts both slugs and full URLs.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a Kick account or API key to use this?	No. The Actor reads the public Kick website, so no login, token, or registration is required.
What format does the output come in?	You can export your dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML directly from the Apify console or via API.
Can I scrape both channel info and their videos in one run?	Yes. Enable the 'Include recent videos' toggle and each channel's videos will appear as separate rows alongside the channel profiles.
How many channels can I scrape at once?	You set the maximum with the 'Maximum channels' field. The Actor can handle up to a million channels per run.
What is a Kick channel slug?	It is the unique part of the channel URL. For example, in 'https://kick.com/xqc', the slug is 'xqc'.
Does this Actor scrape live stream chat or viewer counts in real time?	No. It captures the channel profile data as shown on the page at the moment of the run, including stream status, but not live chat messages.
Can I schedule this Actor to run automatically?	Yes. Apify supports scheduled runs. You can set it to run hourly, daily, or on any cron schedule you need.
What happens if a channel slug is misspelled or no longer exists?	The Actor will mark that input as failed in the run log and continue processing the rest of your list.
Is it legal to scrape Kick?	This Actor only accesses publicly available pages. You are responsible for complying with Kick's terms of service and local laws.
Can I get the data via API instead of manual export?	Yes. Every Apify Actor exposes a REST API. You can fetch your dataset programmatically from your own application.
