About
Kick Scraper: Channels, Live Streams, VODs and Clips
Collect Kick.com channel profiles, live streams, past broadcasts and clips in one run. Follow a list of creators, search what is live right now, or read the whole live directory sorted by viewers, then rerun on a schedule to see who started, changed or went offline.
Start a 7-day free trial, paste a few channel names and see the data before you pay anything. No card is needed for the trial.
π What you get
- Creator profiles. Followers, verified and affiliate status, bio, banner, avatar and linked social accounts for every channel on your list.
- Live status. Whether a channel is live now, its current viewers, stream title, category, language and start time.
- The live directory. Every live stream Kick lists, most-watched first, for all of Kick or for a single category such as just-chatting or slots.
- Search. Find live streams whose title, category or tags match your text. A channel name such as xqc also returns that channel's profile.
- Past broadcasts and clips. Recent VODs and clips per channel with views, likes, duration, category, language and a playback link.
- Filters. Minimum followers, minimum live viewers, language, required tags, verified, affiliate and mature-content switches.
- Change tracking. Run the same input on a schedule and each record is labelled NEW, UPDATED, STATUS_CHANGED, REAPPEARED or EXPIRED against the previous run.
- Your format. Download Excel, CSV or JSON, or pull the data into your own tools through the API.
π₯ Who it is for
- Sponsorship and talent teams: "I want follower counts, language and live viewers for the 200 creators on my shortlist in one file."
- Streaming analysts: "I track which categories and channels are growing, and I need the live directory sampled the same way every day."
- Agencies and brands: "I need to know when a creator we partner with goes live, and what they stream."
- Researchers and tool builders: "I feed Kick data into a dashboard and need clean, consistent fields."
π How it works
- Pick a mode. Watchlist for your own channel list, search for a text query, or live directory for everything live (optionally one category).
- Choose the records and filters. Select channel, stream, VOD and clip records, then set minimum followers or viewers, language, tags and a maximum record count.
- Run it and schedule it. Read the results, then turn on change tracking and schedule the run to get a feed of what moved.
The Actor reads public Kick pages. You do not need a Kick account.
π₯ Input
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Discovery mode | Watchlist channels, search, or live directory (all live streams or one category). |
| Channels to watch | Channel names or Kick links, for example xqc or kick.com/xqc. |
| Search query | Text to look for in live titles, categories and tags. |
| Category slug | A category such as just-chatting. Leave empty to scan all live streams. |
| Record types | Any of channel, stream, VOD and clip. |
| Filters | Minimum followers, minimum live viewers, language, required tags, verified, affiliate, mature content. |
| Maximum records | How many records to return after filters and sorting. |
| Sort field and order | Viewers, followers, directory rank, title, category or most recent first. |
| Monitor mode | Current snapshot, or changes since the previous run that used the same monitor name. |
π Output
Each row is one channel, live stream, VOD or clip. Fields Kick does not show for a record are left out, never filled with placeholders.

|---|---|
recordType, channelName, displayName, channelUrl | What the row is and which channel it belongs to |

π° Pricing
$19 a month after a 7-day free trial. Compute is billed from your prepaid credits during the trial and after it. In our tests a run took 2 to 27 seconds and used between $0.00015 and $0.0007 of compute, for example $0.00023 for 60 records from four channels.
π‘ Good to know
- Only public Kick pages are read.
- Search matches live streams, so a channel that is offline appears only when you search for its exact name or add it to a watchlist.
- A channel's VOD list covers its most recent broadcasts, and a stream that is still live shows a video duration of 0.
- Followers, viewers and live status are a snapshot taken at the moment of the run.
- The Actor is independent and not affiliated with Kick.
FAQ
- Can I follow a list of creators and see when they go live?
- Yes. Put the channel names in the watchlist, select the channel record type and run it. Each row shows whether the channel is live, its current viewers, title and category. Turn on change tracking and schedule the same input to get a status change label whenever a creator starts or stops streaming.
- What can I collect besides channel profiles?
- Live streams from the whole live directory or from a single category, search results for live streams that match your text, recent past broadcasts and clips per channel. You choose the record types, and each row says which type it is.
- Can I filter by followers, viewers or language?
- Yes. You can set a minimum follower count, a minimum number of live viewers, a language code such as en or es, required tags, and switches for verified, affiliate and mature-content channels. The live directory can be sorted by most viewers first.
- Do I need a Kick account, and how much does a run cost?
- You do not need a Kick account. The Actor reads public pages. The monthly price is $19 after a 7-day free trial, and compute comes from your prepaid credits. In our tests a run used between $0.00015 and $0.0007 of compute and finished in 2 to 27 seconds.
- Why did a search or a video list return fewer rows than I asked for?
- Search looks through the streams that are live at that moment, so it returns only what matches right now. A channel's past broadcast list covers its most recent broadcasts only. Rows for fields Kick does not show are left out rather than filled in, so run again later or widen your filters if you need more.
