Kick Creator Scraper

Kick Creator Scraper: followers, live status and the current stream for any Kick channel

Name Kick creators, search for them, or read whoever is on air, and you get one row per creator: follower count, the verified tick, whether they're live and, if they are, the stream title, category, viewer count and start time. Each row also carries the bio and the social handles the creator typed into their own profile. The limit to know first: Kick's search gives at most 20 channels per term and has no second page, so a term as broad as "fortnite" still returns 20.

There are no email addresses here, and nothing goes looking for them. The form arrives with two real channels in it, so pressing Start without editing reads those two and bills two rows.

🔍 What Kick Creator Scraper does

Three ways in, one row out. Name the channels you already follow, put words through Kick's own channel search, or switch on the live feed and read whoever is broadcasting. However a creator was found, the row is built from their channel page, so every row has the same fields and foundVia tells you which way it came in.

Named channels go first, then search results, then the live feed, until maxItems is reached. A creator who turns up twice, say named and then again on the live feed, is read and charged once.

The live fields are read the moment the row is built. isLive: true means they were on air then. It is a snapshot, so to follow a channel through the day, run it on a schedule.

Misspelled lists stop themselves. If 25 channels in a row come back with nothing, the run ends and says so rather than working through the rest of the list.

🧾 Reading the output

Three kinds of row can land in the dataset.

The sample row only appears when nothing was named, searched or switched on. Filter on recordType being creator and you have just the creators.

Only the first 30 problems get a row each. After that, one row counts the rest.

▶️ How to run it

1. Open Kick Creator Scraper and click Try for free. 2. Put usernames or links into Kick usernames or channel links, words into Search terms, or tick Read whoever is live right now. 3. For the live feed, fill in Category (live feed only) and Language (live feed only) if you want to narrow it. 4. Set Maximum rows, and tick Skip creators who are offline if you only want people on air. 5. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it from the API.

💰 How much does it cost?

$3.30 per 1,000 creators, flat on every Apify plan.

You pay per creator row. The sample row and the diagnostic rows are never charged, a creator found twice is charged once, and with Skip creators who are offline ticked, the offline ones are dropped before they're charged.

💡 What people use it for

• Keeping tabs on creators you sponsor or compete with. Run the same names on a schedule and compare followersCount and isLive from one run to the next.
• A shortlist in a niche: a few search terms, filtered by follower count, with the socials each creator published attached.
• Finding new streamers in a category. A browse run with category set turns up the channels that just went live, which is where small creators show up first.
• A dashboard of live viewer counts across a set of channels, without keeping a connection open to each one.

🚧 What it does not do

• More than 20 channels per search term. Kick's search stops there and has no second page.
• Start with the biggest live streams. The live feed comes newest broadcast first, so a browse run is mostly streams that just began, many with nobody watching yet. It also reads at most 20 pages of the feed.
• Emails. There's no email field and nothing is worked out from the bio.
• Check the social handles. They're whatever the creator typed, and some are wrong.
• Chat, clips, VODs or past broadcasts. One row per creator, as they are right now.
• Subscriber counts or earnings. Kick doesn't publish them.
• History. Each run is a fresh snapshot. Keep the rows yourself to build a trend.

🧭 Which creator scraper do you need?

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need a Kick account or an API key? No. Everything read here is what Kick shows anyone who opens a channel.

What if a username doesn't exist? You get a free NOT_FOUND row for it and the run moves on. Twenty-five misses in a row end the run, on the reasoning that the list is probably wrong.

Can I watch a long list to see who's live? Yes, but leave Skip creators who are offline unticked for that and filter on isLive yourself. With it ticked, 25 offline creators in a row count as 25 misses and end the run before it reaches the rest of your list.

Why did I get fewer rows than I asked for? Usually the 20-per-term search limit, offline creators dropped by Skip creators who are offline, or the same creator found twice. The diagnostic rows say which.

How fresh are the live numbers? Seconds old when the row is written. A busy stream's viewer count will have moved by the time you open it.

Is this legal? These are public profile pages, but a creator's name and handles are personal data in many places, so keep what you need and be careful republishing it. Apify's article on whether web scraping is legal is worth reading first.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page and send the input you used and the run ID. The diagnostic rows in the dataset usually name the reason already.
