# Kick Clips Scraper (`romy/kick-clips-scraper`) Actor

Kick Clips Scraper pulls popular and recent clips from Kick, site-wide or scoped to one channel, with real cursor pagination, sort order, and time-window filters. No Kick account or API key needed — talks directly to Kick own mobile app API. Split from romy/kick-all-in-one-api.

## Pricing

from $3.10 / 1,000 clip scrapeds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

### What does Kick Clips Scraper do?

**Kick Clips Scraper** pulls popular or recent clips from [Kick](https://kick.com/) — site-wide or scoped to one channel — with real cursor-based pagination, one dataset row per clip.

It talks directly to the same internal API the official Kick Android app uses (`mobile.kick.com`), reverse-engineered by capturing and analyzing live traffic from the real app. No Kick account, no API key. This is the clips slice of [Kick All-in-One API](https://apify.com/romy/kick-all-in-one-api), split out as its own focused Actor.

### Why use Kick Clips Scraper?

- **Real, confirmed-live sort and time filters** — both `sort` orders (`views`/`date`) and all four `time` windows (`day`/`week`/`month`/`all`) genuinely change the result set, not just the app UI
- **Real cursor pagination** — confirmed live: paging with the previous response's cursor returns a fresh batch with zero id overlap against the one before it
- **Per-channel or site-wide** — pass a `channelId` to scope to one streamer, or omit it for the site-wide trending list
- **Real, playable clip URLs** — `.m3u8` playback links that actually play, not placeholders
- **No account needed** — works fully anonymously
- **Use cases:** clip aggregation/highlight reels, creator monitoring, trend tracking, moderation/content review pipelines

### Input

| Field       | Type    | Description                                                                                                                                   |
| ----------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `sort`      | string  | `views` (default) or `date`                                                                                                                   |
| `time`      | string  | `day` / `week` (default) / `month` / `all`                                                                                                    |
| `channelId` | integer | Numeric Kick channel id (from [kick-channel-profile-scraper](https://apify.com/romy/kick-channel-profile-scraper)). Omit for site-wide clips. |
| `maxPages`  | integer | Stop after this many pages (20 clips/page). Default `5`.                                                                                      |
| `maxItems`  | integer | Stop once at least this many clips have been pushed. Unlimited (bounded by `maxPages`) if omitted.                                            |

Example:

```json
{
    "sort": "views",
    "time": "week",
    "maxPages": 3
}
```

### Output

One dataset row per clip:

```json
{
    "id": "clip_01M154A7H5TRVPEB3DX7S9AJP0",
    "title": "lambonun finali",
    "channel": { "id": 31552149, "slug": "ilkerfirat", "username": "ilkerfirat", "is_verified": true },
    "creator": { "id": 27179465, "slug": "krexyvlr", "username": "krexyvlr" },
    "category": { "id": 15, "name": "Just Chatting", "slug": "just-chatting" },
    "views_count": 108711,
    "duration": 92,
    "playback_url": "https://clips.kick.com/clips/82/clip_01M154A7H5TRVPEB3DX7S9AJP0/playlist.m3u8",
    "thumbnail_url": "https://clips.kick.com/clips/82/clip_01M154A7H5TRVPEB3DX7S9AJP0/thumbnail.webp",
    "created_at": "2026-08-28T21:28:09.116819Z"
}
```

### Known limitations

- No login flow — this Actor only wraps the guest-accessible, read-only `/clips` endpoint.
- Livestream/VOD lookups, channel profiles, and chat are separate spin-off Actors in the same family.
- This is an unofficial, reverse-engineered integration, not affiliated with or endorsed by Kick Streaming, Inc. Behavior may change if Kick changes its API.

### Pricing

Pay per event: charged `$0.004` per clip pushed (event `clip`, FREE tier). See the Actor's Pricing tab for current rates across all tiers.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call romy/kick-clips-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",

        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
