Kick Streamer & Category Leaderboard Scraper

Who Uses Kick Streamer Data?

• Talent agencies and brand-safety teams — track which streamers are trending in a category before pitching a sponsorship
• Market researchers — measure category-level viewership trends on Kick over time (gambling, IRL, esports)
• Competitive-intelligence teams — watch how Kick's live audience compares category to category, or run it daily and diff the leaderboard
• Growth and influencer-marketing agencies — build outreach lists of streamers with real follower counts and working social links, not guesses

How Kick Streamer & Category Leaderboard Scraper Works

1. Pick categories, or leave it blank — the scraper auto-discovers the top trending ones by current live viewer count.
2. For each category, it pulls the live leaderboard: who's streaming, what they're playing, and how many people are watching right now.
3. For each streamer on that leaderboard, it fetches the full channel profile — bio, follower count, social links — unless you turn that off for a lighter run.
4. Everything lands in your dataset as flat, ready-to-use rows. No further cleanup needed.

Input

{
  "categories": ["just-chatting", "grand-theft-auto-v"],
  "maxItems": 50
}

Or leave categories empty to auto-scrape whatever's trending:

{
  "topCategoriesCount": 10,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
categories	array of strings	[]	Specific Kick category slugs to scrape (e.g. "just-chatting", "grand-theft-auto-v" — find the slug in the category URL kick.com/category/<slug>). Leave empty to auto-scrape the top trending categories instead.
topCategoriesCount	integer	10	When categories is empty, how many top trending categories (by current live viewer count) to auto-discover and scrape.
maxStreamersPerCategory	integer	24	Cap on live streamers pulled per category. Kick's own category page surfaces up to 24 currently-live streamers ranked by viewer count — lower this to pull only the very top of each leaderboard.
includeChannelDetails	boolean	true	Fetch each streamer's full channel profile (bio, social links, follower count). Turn off for a lighter, viewer-count-only leaderboard snapshot.
maxItems	integer	15	Maximum number of streamer rows to scrape across all selected categories.

Resuming a large crawl

Every run emits a resumeCursor in its Output. If a large crawl stops before it finishes — because it hit maxItems, your spend cap (maxTotalChargeUsd), or was aborted — start a new run with the same input plus that resumeCursor to continue from where it left off. The crawl resumes from the queued work the previous run didn't reach.

• You are not re-charged for records the earlier run already delivered.
• Resume within your account's run-retention window — on the free tier, roughly your 10 most recent runs. Once the source run is pruned, its resumeCursor is no longer valid.
• resumeCursor is opaque — supply it unmodified.

FAQ

How do I scrape Kick.com streamer data?

Kick Streamer & Category Leaderboard Scraper needs no login and no API key. Give it one or more category slugs — or nothing at all — and it returns the current live leaderboard for each, enriched with channel profiles.

How much does Kick Streamer & Category Leaderboard Scraper cost to run?

You're charged per streamer row returned. Turn off includeChannelDetails if you only need viewer counts and titles — it cuts the per-row cost roughly in half since it skips the channel-profile fetch.

What data can I get from Kick.com with this scraper?

Live viewer counts, stream titles, category assignments, and full channel profiles — bio, follower count, and social links for Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Discord, and TikTok. Subscriber counts aren't available; Kick doesn't publish them anywhere.

Can I filter by category?

Yes. Pass one or more category slugs in categories (find them in the URL — kick.com/category/just-chatting → just-chatting). Leave it empty and the scraper auto-picks whatever's trending by live viewer count.

Do I need an account or API key for Kick.com?

No. Kick Streamer & Category Leaderboard Scraper runs without any Kick account, login, or API key.

Why Use Kick Streamer & Category Leaderboard Scraper?

• No account required — run it cold, no Kick login or API key to manage
• Full channel enrichment, not just a viewer count — bio, follower count, and working social links come back on every row, so you're not stitching together three tools to build an outreach list
• Category-aware — name specific categories or let it auto-track whatever's trending; either way, the leaderboard shape stays the same
