Kick Viewer Counts Scraper

What does Kick Viewer Counts Scraper do?

Kick Viewer Counts Scraper takes one or more Kick livestream ids and pushes back their real-time viewer counts in a single batched call, one dataset row per livestream.

It talks directly to the same internal API the official Kick Android app uses (kick.com/current-viewers), reverse-engineered by capturing and analyzing live traffic from the real app. No Kick account, no API key, no scraping setup. This is the viewer-counts slice of Kick All-in-One API, split out as its own focused Actor.

Why use Kick Viewer Counts Scraper?

• One call, many channels — batch as many livestream ids as you want into a single request instead of hitting the channel page once per id
• Real-time numbers — the same counts the app itself shows, not a cached or delayed figure
• No account needed — the endpoint works fully anonymously
• Use cases: viewer-count dashboards, stream-popularity tracking over time, alerting on viewer spikes/drops, feeding a leaderboard alongside other Kick data

Input

Field	Type	Description
livestreamIds	string[]	Required. Numeric livestream ids, e.g. the id field from kick-discovery-scraper's home mode. See Data notes below — not every id format Kick returns works here.

Example:

{
    "livestreamIds": ["124912670", "56488514"]
}

Output

One dataset row per livestream id, in the exact shape Kick's own API returns:

{ "livestream_id": 124912670, "viewers": 6495, "show_view_count": true }

Data notes

• This endpoint strictly validates ids as integers, confirmed live. A UUID-style livestream id — the format returned by GET /api/v1/livestreams (e.g. 01a05572-6ef0-7270-8f8c-042989822a75) — is rejected with a 422 "This field must be an integer" error. The plain integer ids returned by GET /home (kick-discovery-scraper's home mode) work correctly; a channel's numeric id (from kick-channel-profile-scraper) was also confirmed live to return a valid result.
• The raw response is a plain JSON array, not wrapped in an object — this Actor pushes it exactly as-is.

Known limitations

• Only wraps this one guest-accessible, read-only endpoint — no login flow is implemented or planned, by design (same as every actor in this 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.
