Kick Scraper

Pull structured data from Kick.com at scale — full streamer profiles, the currently-live directory, past broadcasts and clips with view counts, and the platform's top-channel rankings, all in clean rows you can sort and filter. Four scrape modes share one tidy output schema, so a follower count, a live viewer number, and a clip's view total all come back ready for analysis. Built for talent scouts, sponsorship researchers, esports analysts, and stream-analytics builders who need fresh Kick data without babysitting a browser or copy-pasting numbers off the site.

Why This Scraper?

• 4 scrape modes in one actor — Channel Details, Live Streams, Channel Videos, and Top Channels, each selected from a single dropdown. No separate tools, no juggling.
• Full streamer profiles — username, bio, follower count, verified and affiliate flags, profile and banner images, subscriber badges, and live status in a single row.
• Up to 6 social links per channel — Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Discord, TikTok, and Facebook handles, expanded into ready-to-click full URLs (not bare handles).
• VODs and clips with engagement metrics — past broadcasts carry view counts and duration; clips add likes, the original clipper's name, and unbounded pagination sorted by most-viewed or most-recent.
• Live-stream directory with real filters — pull up to ~100 currently-live streams, narrow to a single category, set a minimum-viewer floor, and order by viewers or by most recently started.
• Rank-ordered top channels — the curated featured ranking comes back numbered 1, 2, 3…, each enriched with live viewer counts, category, and stream title.
• Flexible channel input — paste a bare username (xqc), a short link (kick.com/xqc), or a full https://kick.com/... URL; all three resolve to the same channel.
• Normalized, consistent fields — durations always in seconds (VOD milliseconds and clip seconds reconciled for you), viewer counts as numbers, and timestamps in ISO format across every record type.

Getting Started

Scrape a Channel Profile

The simplest run — full details for one or more channels:

{
    "mode": "channel_details",
    "channelNames": ["xqc", "kick.com/trainwreckstv"]
}

Browse the Live Directory

Pull the busiest streams in a category, skipping quiet ones:

{
    "mode": "live_streams",
    "category": "just-chatting",
    "minViewers": 500,
    "sortBy": "viewers",
    "maxResults": 100
}

Collect a Channel's Clips

Grab a channel's most-viewed clips with engagement data:

{
    "mode": "channel_videos",
    "channelNames": ["xqc"],
    "videoType": "clips",
    "sortBy": "viewers",
    "maxResults": 200
}

Rank the Top Live Channels

{
    "mode": "top_channels",

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
mode	select	channel_details	What to collect: Channel Details (full profiles), Live Streams (live right now), Channel Videos (past broadcasts or clips), or Top Channels (most-watched featured channels).
channelNames	string[]	["xqc"]	Channel names or links, one per line — a bare name (xqc), short link (kick.com/xqc), or full URL. Used by Channel Details and Channel Videos.

Filters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
category	string	""	Return only streams in this category. Use the slug as it appears in the Kick URL — e.g. just-chatting, slots, fortnite. Applies to Live Streams and Top Channels. Leave empty for all categories.
videoType	select	videos	For Channel Videos: collect full past broadcasts (VODs) or short clips.
sortBy	select	viewers	Ordering — most viewers first or most recent. Applies to Live Streams, Top Channels, and Channel Videos clips (clips: most-viewed vs. most recently created). Past broadcasts (VODs) always come back newest-first.
minViewers	integer	0	Drop streams with fewer current viewers than this. Leave at 0 to include every stream.

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	50	Most rows to return this run (1–1000). Some modes have natural ceilings: Live Streams returns up to ~100, Top Channels ~14, and VODs up to the 24 most recent per channel. Clips and Channel Details honor this limit fully.

Output

Every row carries a recordType field (channel, stream, video, or topChannel) and a scrapedAt ISO timestamp, so mixed datasets stay easy to split. Each mode produces one record type.

Tips for Best Results

• Get category slugs from the Kick URL. Open a category page on Kick and copy the slug from the address bar — kick.com/browse/categories/just-chatting means your category value is just-chatting. The visible category name won't work.
• Clips is the only unbounded mode. Past broadcasts cap at the 24 most recent per channel, Live Streams at ~100, and Top Channels at ~14. If you need deep history for a channel, use videoType: "clips" and raise maxResults.
• Use minViewers to focus on active streams. Setting a floor like 500 trims the long tail of tiny streams so you only keep channels with real reach — ideal for sponsorship shortlists.
• Mix input formats freely. channelNames accepts bare names, short links, and full URLs in the same run, so you can paste a list straight from wherever you collected it.
• Snapshot live data on a schedule. Live viewer counts and the directory change minute to minute — run Live Streams or Top Channels on a recurring schedule to build a time series.
• Split mixed datasets by recordType. When you run several modes into one dataset, filter on recordType (channel, stream, video, topChannel) to separate them cleanly.

Pricing
