# Kick Data API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/kick)

> Kick API: one focused endpoint for clip details — title, view count, duration, category, creator, channel, and thumbnail. Each request costs 1 credit on the standard tier, with 100 free credits on signup and no card. It runs on the same x-api-key and unified JSON schema as the other 38 SocialCrawl platforms, so Kick slots straight into your existing integration.

TL;DR: SocialCrawl's Kick API exposes 1 endpoints, 1 credit per call, all returning one unified JSON schema with AI-enriched fields. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Endpoints

| Endpoint | Method | Path | Credits | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Clip | GET | `/v1/kick/clip` | 1 | Get Kick clip details |

## Code example

```bash
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/kick/clip?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkick.com%2Fxqc%2Fclips%2Fclip_abc123" \
  -H "x-api-key: sc_YOUR_API_KEY"
```

Every response shares one JSON envelope: `{ success, platform, endpoint, data, credits_used, credits_remaining }`.

## SocialCrawl vs DIY scraping

| Feature | SocialCrawl | DIY scraping |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Setup | Sign up and send one GET request | Headless browser, proxies, and parser code to build first |
| Authentication | One x-api-key header | None — but you handle blocks and bot detection yourself |
| Response schema | Unified JSON shared across 44 platforms | Raw HTML you parse and normalize yourself |
| Pricing | 1 credit per request; 100 free credits on signup | Proxy and server costs plus engineering hours |
| Maintenance | SocialCrawl absorbs Kick markup changes upstream | Your scraper breaks whenever Kick changes its frontend |

## FAQ

### How do I scrape Kick.com data with an API?

SocialCrawl exposes a Kick Clip endpoint that returns normalized clip data by URL. Send a GET request with x-api-key — no Kick developer app, no OAuth 2.1 client approval, no refresh-token flow required.

### Is there a Kick data API?

Yes. SocialCrawl is a Kick data API focused on public clip data: one GET on a clip URL returns title, view count, duration, category, creator, channel, and thumbnail as unified JSON. Kick's own public API launched in 2024 and is the right tool for managing your channel, but it requires OAuth 2.1, a registered application, and client approval. For reading public clip data, SocialCrawl needs only one x-api-key, at 1 credit per request with 100 free credits to start.

### What Kick endpoints does SocialCrawl offer today?

One endpoint covers the highest-demand use case: clip details (title, view count, duration, category, creator name, channel name, thumbnail URL, created_at). Same unified schema as every other SocialCrawl platform.

### Is this a Kick official API alternative?

Yes. Kick's public API launched in 2024 but requires OAuth 2.1, a registered application, and client approval. SocialCrawl reads public Kick clip data with one x-api-key, and responses match the schema shared across the other 43 platforms we support.

### How much does the Kick API cost?

The Kick Clip endpoint costs 1 credit per request on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required — enough to make 100 Kick clip calls before you pay a cent and validate the response end-to-end.

### Is scraping Kick clips legal?

SocialCrawl reads only publicly visible Kick clip data through our upstream provider. You are responsible for complying with Kick's Community Guidelines, Terms of Service, and any data protection regulations that apply to your specific use case. SocialCrawl operates under a documented GDPR legitimate-interest framework: public, logged-out data only, no credential use, short-lived caches (2 to 30 minutes) with no persistent store, and a public opt-out channel for anyone whose public info appears in responses. Full details: socialcrawl.dev/legal/public-data-notice.

### Can I use the Kick API for clip analytics and highlight reels?

Yes. The clip endpoint returns view count, duration, category, and thumbnail URL — ideal for ranking clips by engagement, building streamer highlight feeds, feeding moderation pipelines, or enriching social analytics dashboards with Kick alongside Twitch and YouTube.

### What is the best Kick scraper API?

SocialCrawl offers a focused Kick clip endpoint that returns title, view count, duration, category, creator, channel, and thumbnail for 1 credit per request — 100 free credits on signup, no card. Compared with DIY scraping, you skip proxies, parsers, and breakage, and the response uses the same unified schema as 43 other platforms.
