## FAQ

### How do I get Kick clip details with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/kick/clip with the full Kick clip URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns the clip title, view count, duration, category, creator name, channel name, thumbnail URL, and creation timestamp in one JSON payload.

### What fields does GET /v1/kick/clip return?

The response includes clip id, title, view_count, duration, category (Just Chatting, IRL, game name), creator name, channel name, thumbnail_url, and created_at. Engagement lives under the unified post.engagement object for cross-platform parity with Twitch and YouTube.

### Can I pull top clips for a Kick streamer or category?

The endpoint fetches one clip by URL. Feed a list of clip URLs from Kick's clip directory, a Discord bot, or an analytics feed through this endpoint in a loop, then rank the responses by view_count to surface top-performing clips per streamer or category.

### How much does the Kick Clip API cost?

Each request costs 1 credit on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required — enough to test 100 clip URLs end-to-end and validate the response schema before you ever add a payment method to your account.

### Is the Kick clip thumbnail URL direct-usable?

Yes. The thumbnail_url is a public Kick-hosted image link you can embed directly in thumbnails, carousels, or Open Graph tags. View count and duration let you sort clips by engagement for recap feeds, highlight reels, and creator dashboards.
