The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/kick/post/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/post/index.md). - ### 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=\, a clips page with ?clip=\, 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. - **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …). - **`id`string**: Platform-native post ID (string; Instagram shortcode, Reddit with its t3_ prefix). - **`url`string**: Canonical post URL. - **`type`string**: Normalized content shape. New values may be added; treat unknown values as other. - **`platform_type`string**: The platform's own product label, lowercase (reel, short, story, live, tweet, …). - **`title`string**: Headline (YouTube title, Reddit title); null on caption-only platforms. - **`text`string**: Caption, description or body as plain text. - **`language`string**: BCP-47 language of text, when the platform states it.

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. ## 1 credit per request. Failed requests are free.
