Kick.com Scraper on Apify


Why use Kick.com Scraper

  • Batch multiple channels: Search dozens of streamers in a single run instead of checking profiles one at a time.
  • Real-time viewer and follower stats: Get live viewer counts, follower totals, and live status without gaps.
  • Mature content filter: Hide NSFW-flagged streams, videos, and clips before sharing lists with sponsors.
  • Language filter: Keep only streams broadcast in the language your audience cares about.
  • Live streams, VODs, and clips in one tool: Cover current broadcasts, past sessions, and trending clips without switching tools.

How to use Kick.com Scraper

  1. Choose a mode: channel details, live streams under a category, channel videos and clips, or top channel rankings.
  2. Enter channel names or slugs, a category, or leave the defaults to pull top channels.
  3. Click Start: The actor collects every matching record and writes one flat row per item.
  4. Download your results: Export as Excel, CSV, JSON, or HTML from the Output tab.

Output

Each row in your dataset is one channel, live stream, VOD, or clip record. All fields are flat with no nested data, so the file opens cleanly in any spreadsheet program.

Pricing

$2.64 per 1,000 results. No monthly subscriptions and no minimum commits. New Apify accounts include $5 of free usage, so you can try it before you pay.

You only pay for the channel and stream records successfully added to your dataset. If a search yields no results, the run costs nothing.


Quick start

Create a .env file from .env.example, add your Apify API token, and run:

npm install
npm start

The script uses the Apify API client to start the Kick.com Scraper and fetch results.


Tips and optimization

  • Batch channel names: Pass a list of streamer slugs in one run instead of triggering separate runs per creator.
  • Use category slugs for discovery: Pull live streams or top channels for a whole category like just-chatting or fortnite instead of naming channels individually.
  • Combine filters: Stack excludeMature and languageFilter together to build sponsor-safe, audience-specific lists in one pass.
  • Set maxResults intentionally: Cap output to only what you need to keep runs fast and predictable in cost.

FAQ

Is Kick.com scraping legal? Yes. This tool extracts publicly accessible channel and stream information. Check regional data privacy regulations if you process social profile data downstream.

Do I need a proxy or login to run this scraper? No. Standard connection routing is handled automatically and no Kick.com account or login is required.

Can I filter out mature or NSFW content? Yes. Set excludeMature to true to remove streams, videos, and clips that Kick has flagged as mature content.
