Live status

GET/v1/kick/user/live1 credit

Tells whether a Kick channel is live right now and, if it is, the stream's id, title, start time, current viewer count and watch URL, with the channel's owner. Our own route: ScrapeCreators has no Kick live route, so the answer has the same shape as our other live-status routes.

01Query parameters

NameTypeDescription
handlerequiredstringThe Kick channel: its slug or username, `@name`, or a channel URL, e.g. `xqc` or `https://kick.com/xqc`.

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 answer is `platform, is_live, live_id, title, started_at, viewer_count, url, owner{id, username, display_name}`. A channel that is not live is still data (1 credit): `is_live` is false, `owner` is filled and the stream fields are null. An unknown channel is a free 404; a handle that is not a Kick channel is a free 400.
