Kick.com Scraper - Streamers, Live Streams, VODs & Clips

Kick.com Scraper turns Kick's public data into clean, flat rows: streamer profiles with followers, verification, bio and social links, the top live streams right now by category and language, past broadcasts (VODs), clips and categories with live viewers. It is built for influencer marketing agencies, brand sponsorship teams and streaming analytics products that need Kick numbers without logging in and without paying US$ 15 per 1,000 channels.

• Influencer agencies: check followers, verification, socials and recent categories of a creator list before pitching a campaign.
• Sponsors and brand teams: find the most-watched live streams in your category and language every hour, and see who is live right now with how many viewers.
• Streaming analytics: track category viewers, VOD views, peak viewers and top clips over time with a schedule, and feed dashboards, BI or AI agents.

Price: US$ 3 per 1,000 items, no monthly fee. Channels that do not exist, blocked requests and empty results are free. AI agents can call it through the Apify MCP server.

Competitor figures were read from the public Apify API (api.apify.com/v2/store?search=kick.com) on 2026-09-15 and change every day; the Store page always shows the live number. Among the ten most relevant Kick Actors that day, prices ran from about US$ 1 to US$ 15 per 1,000 rows, several of them with an extra fee of up to US$ 0.10 charged on every run start.

One real row

Minimal input (this is also the default input):

{ "mode": "channels", "channelNames": ["xqc", "adinross"] }

A real row from a run of 2026-09-15, trimmed (the full row and one example per mode are under "Output" below):

{
  "type": "channel",
  "channelName": "xqc",
  "channelUrl": "https://kick.com/xqc",
  "channelId": 668,
  "displayName": "xQc",
  "followersCount": 1111456,
  "verified": true,
  "isLive": false,
  "recentCategories": ["Grand Theft Auto V (GTA)", "Just Chatting", "Escape From Tarkov"],
  "instagram": "https://www.instagram.com/xqcow1/",
  "twitter": "https://x.com/xqc",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-15T18:07:46.101Z"
}

What you can scrape

Mode	Input	One row per	Typical use
channels	channel names or URLs	channel	creator vetting, follower tracking
liveStreams	optional categories, languages, min viewers, tags	live stream	top streams now, sponsor discovery
videos	channel names or URLs	past broadcast (VOD)	views and duration of recent streams
clips	channels, categories, or nothing for trending	clip	viral moments, highlight research
categories	nothing (top N) or category slugs	category	category viewers leaderboard
search	keywords	channel	find streamers by name

Every row has a type field (channel, livestream, video, clip, category) so you can mix modes in one pipeline, plus scrapedAt.

Input examples

Channel profiles (this is also the default input):

{
  "mode": "channels",
  "channelNames": ["xqc", "https://kick.com/adinross", "@amouranth"]
}

Top 50 live streams in Just Chatting in Portuguese and Spanish with at least 50 viewers:

{
  "mode": "liveStreams",
  "categories": ["just-chatting"],
  "languages": ["pt", "es"],
  "minViewers": 50,
  "maxResults": 50
}

The 100 most viewed clips of a channel, all time:

{
  "mode": "clips",
  "channelNames": ["xqc"],
  "clipSort": "view",
  "clipPeriod": "all",
  "maxResults": 100
}

Top 100 categories by live viewers:

{
  "mode": "categories",
  "maxResults": 100
}

Coming from another Kick scraper?

The input names of the other Kick actors in the Store also work, so you can switch without touching your integration:

• mode: channel_details, live_streams, top_channels, channel_videos (with videoType: videos or clips), livestreams, subcategories
• channelNames, channelSlugs, channelUrls, startUrls, watchlist
• category, categorySlugs, minViewers, sortBy, maxResults, maxItems
• livestreamLanguages, livestreamTags, searchKeywords

Output names follow the same convention as the market leader (channelName, displayName, followersCount, isLive, currentViewers, currentCategory, currentStreamTitle, viewers, thumbnailUrl), so most mappings keep working.

Output

Real rows from runs on the Apify platform on 15 September 2026.

Rows that are not charged

A channel that does not exist, an invalid name, a category with no live streams or a blocked request becomes a row with errorCode and error, and is not charged:

{
  "type": "channel",
  "input": "this-channel-does-not-exist-zz9",
  "channelName": "this-channel-does-not-exist-zz9",
  "error": "channel not found on Kick",
  "errorCode": "CHANNEL_NOT_FOUND"
}

Error codes: CHANNEL_NOT_FOUND, INVALID_CHANNEL, CATEGORY_NOT_FOUND, INVALID_CATEGORY, NO_RESULTS, CHANNEL_UNAVAILABLE, BLOCKED. The run only fails when nothing at all could be delivered because Kick blocked every retry, so one bad name in a list of 500 never ruins the run.

Prices of other Actors as listed in the Apify Store on 2026-09-15.

Examples at the Free plan price: 100 creator profiles cost US$ 0.30. The top 500 live streams every hour for a day is 12,000 rows, US$ 36. Error rows are free, and you can cap spending with the maximum cost per run in the Apify Console.

Speed and cost, measured

Our own cloud runs on the Apify platform, 2026-09-15 and the days before, 512 MB of memory. "Platform cost" is what the run consumed in Apify usage; the percentage is that cost against what the Actor charges.

Run	Rows	Time	Platform cost	% of the charge
Top live streams, no filter	600	31 s	US$ 0.0041	0.23%
Top live streams, no filter	200	17 s	US$ 0.0016	0.26%
Most viewed clips of one channel, all time	500	44 s	US$ 0.0039	0.26%
Every category with live viewers	626	552 s	US$ 0.0189	1.0%
Categories leaderboard	100	10 s	US$ 0.0009	0.29%
VODs of two channels	36	6 s	US$ 0.0004	0.37%
Two channel profiles	2	3 s	US$ 0.0002	2.5%

Twenty-nine test runs, twenty-nine successes, across builds 0.1.1 to 0.1.7. Small runs carry the fixed cost of starting the container, which is why two channels look expensive as a percentage and six hundred live streams do not. The Actor makes plain HTTP calls to the same public JSON kick.com uses in the browser, five at a time, with no browser and no login.

How to use it

Apify Console

1. Pick a mode, fill the channels, categories or languages.
2. Click Start. Results appear in the Output tab, with one table view per type (Channels, Live streams, VODs, Clips, Categories).
3. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or copy the API link.

API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapewise~kick-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "liveStreams", "languages": ["en"], "maxResults": 100}'

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("scrapewise/kick-scraper").call(run_input={
    "mode": "channels",
    "channelNames": ["xqc", "adinross"],
})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row["channelName"], row.get("followersCount"), row.get("isLive"))

Schedules and integrations

• Schedule liveStreams every 15 or 60 minutes to build a viewer history per channel and category.
• Send results to Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable, BigQuery, S3 or a webhook with Apify integrations.
• Use it from n8n, Make or Zapier with the Apify app: "Run actor" then "Get dataset items".

AI agents and MCP

The actor works as a tool in the Apify MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients can call it:

https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=scrapewise/kick-scraper

Ask things like "Who are the top 20 Spanish streamers live on Kick right now?" or "Compare followers and recent categories of these 30 Kick creators". The flat output with type keeps it easy for an agent to read.

Limits and honest notes

• VODs: Kick serves the 24 most recent past broadcasts per channel through its public API. Older VODs are not available without login, so videos returns up to 24 per channel.
• Live streams are a snapshot of the moment the run happens; schedule the actor for history. Filters by category and language are applied by Kick; minViewers and tags are applied on top.
• Search returns up to 20 channels per keyword, which is Kick's own limit.
• Categories: followersCount only comes when you pass category slugs; the top list has live viewers.
• Gambling, casino and betting categories are not collected in any mode.
• Chat messages are not collected, and the username of the viewer who created a clip is not included. The actor only returns public data about channels and their content.
• Kick sits behind Cloudflare. Requests go through Apify datacenter proxy, and blocked requests are retried on new IPs automatically.

If something breaks or you need a field, open an issue on the Issues tab. Issues are answered the same day.

FAQ

Do I need a Kick account, API key or cookies? No. The actor reads the same public JSON that kick.com uses in the browser, with no login.

How fast is it? In platform runs, 50 top live streams took one request, 100 clips took 5 requests in about 10 seconds, and 100 channel profiles take about 100 light requests that run 5 at a time.

How do I get the most-watched streams in one category? Use liveStreams with categories: ["just-chatting"] (the slug from kick.com/category/just-chatting). Add languages to narrow by country audience.

Can I monitor if a streamer is live? Yes. Run channels on a schedule: isLive, currentViewers, currentStreamTitle and currentCategory show the live state at that moment.

Why did I get fewer rows than maxResults? The channel has fewer VODs or clips, fewer streams match the filters right now, or Kick's own limits apply (24 VODs, 20 search results). You are only charged for rows delivered.

Are invalid channel names charged? No. They come back as a row with errorCode and are free.

Can I export to CSV or Excel? Yes, from the Output tab or the dataset API (format=csv or format=xlsx).

Does it collect chat or viewer data? No. Chat messages and personal data of regular viewers are out of scope. Only public channel, stream, VOD, clip and category data is returned.

Can I use it with other Kick actors' inputs? Yes. channel_details, live_streams, top_channels, channel_videos, channelSlugs, category, minViewers and similar names are accepted.

Is scraping Kick legal? The actor collects only public data that anyone can see on kick.com without an account. You are responsible for how you use it; follow Kick's terms and data protection laws in your country.

Why are gambling and casino categories missing? They are blocked on purpose, in every mode, by category name and by parent category. Twenty-four categories sit under Kick's gambling parent and none of them is collected. Categories whose name only looks like gambling, such as chat-roulette and buckshot-roulette, are collected normally.

Can I compare a Kick creator with their Twitch or YouTube channel? Not in the same run. What this actor gives you is the Kick side plus the social links the streamer publishes on their Kick profile (instagram, twitter, youtube, tiktok, facebook, discord), which is usually enough to match the same person on another platform.

How do I build a viewer history instead of a snapshot? Save the liveStreams or categories input as a task and attach an Apify schedule every 15 or 60 minutes. Each run appends a dated snapshot, and viewers plus scrapedAt is all a chart needs.

Can an AI agent call it? Yes, through the Apify MCP server. The input is short, every field has a description, and every row carries a type, so an agent can mix modes without parsing anything.

Changelog

• 2026-09-15 (page): added the "At a glance" comparison with the most used Kick Actor, measured on the public Apify API that day, the minimal input and a real row in the first screen, the measured speed and cost table, the Store discount ladder and four more FAQ entries.
• 2026-09-15 (0.1.7): gambling, casino and betting categories blocked by parent category, whole word and slug; categories that only look like gambling (chat-roulette, buckshot-roulette, hunter-roulette) stay available.
• 2026-09-15 (0.1): first version. Modes channels, liveStreams, videos, clips, categories and search; input names of other Kick scrapers accepted; error rows free; categories ranked by live viewers.

This actor only collects public data and respects the site's terms.
