Kick Clip API. Send a clip link or ID.

Exact views, channel and playback link. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.

Returns a public Kick clip from any of its links or its ID, with its title, channel, exact views, length and playback link. It also has the canonical link, thumbnail, the channel's verified badge, the category and its parent, the mature flag, when the clip was made and the moment of the stream it starts at, the broadcast's ID, the saved video it was cut from with the offset into it while Kick keeps that video, and the account that made it.

One schema on 21 platforms.

The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.

Null means unknown
A field Kick doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
What it accepts
The clip: its link (kick.com/xqc/clips/clip_01JGJHB6CEVFCQRYTVPM8DW892), the older kick.com/xqc?clip=<id>, a clips page with ?clip=<id>, its file on clips.kick.com, or its ID (clip_01JGJHB6CEVFCQRYTVPM8DW892).
Write one parser
Kick, TikTok, Instagram and 18 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

platformstring: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
idstring: Platform-native post ID (string; Instagram shortcode, Reddit with its t3_ prefix).
urlstring: Canonical post URL.
typestring: Normalized content shape. New values may be added; treat unknown values as other.
platform_typestring: The platform's own product label, lowercase (reel, short, story, live, tweet, …).
titlestring: Headline (YouTube title, Reddit title); null on caption-only platforms.
textstring: Caption, description or body as plain text.
languagestring: BCP-47 language of text, when the platform states it.

What teams build with the Kick Clip API.

Read a clip from a link someone shared
Track a clip's views over time
Find the stream moment a clip came from
Group a channel's clips by category or clipper

Good to know before you build.

A clip is read by its ID, so a link with another channel's name returns the clip with its real channel and canonical url.
metrics.like_count is null because Kick shows no like count on a clip. The 0 its older API writes on every clip is not a count.
media[].url doesn't expire and the clip has one quality: an HLS playlist on most clips, or an MP4 file with no playlist on the oldest, from before August 2023.
platform_specific.kick.vod is null once Kick no longer keeps the saved video, which it deletes at most about a month after the broadcast, and sometimes within days.
A clip outlives its channel. When Kick has removed a channel, its clips still return and play here, while url and author.url lead to a page that shows not found.

Plans and packs How this endpoint is priced How credits work

Source	Price per successful request	Per 1,000 requests
Platform API `api`	1 credit	$0.75–$1.97
Public page `page`	1 credit	$0.75–$1.97

Cache hits are free.
Credits from packs and top-ups never expire.
A monthly plan's credits are spent first, and what is left of them ends at each renewal.
Prices exclude tax: sales tax is added at checkout where it applies.
Outside the US, plans and packs are sold to businesses: checkout asks for your VAT, GST or other business tax ID.
