Common to every endpoint

Any route can answer these: a missing or wrong key, no credits left, the platform not answering, or a failure on our side. None of them costs credits.

GET /v1/cosmos/profile?handle=design

{
  "success": false,
  "message": "Invalid API key"
}

04Notes

The channel's fields are at the top level of the answer, next to `success`. `followers_count` is a string of digits, as Kick sends it. `livestream` is null when the channel is not live. `playback_url` carries a short-lived token. An unknown channel is a free 404; a handle that is not a Kick channel is a free 400.

05Errors & credits

Every error has success: false, a real HTTP status and costs no credits.

400missing_parameter
A required parameter is missing or invalid.
403private_account
The account is private or age-restricted.
404not_found
No such account.
503upstream_error
