Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am currently developing a web application that helps streamers run giveaways based on channel loyalty rewards. After collecting users who redeemed a reward, the app allows streamers to filter participants (e.g., only viewers currently in chat, followers, subscribers, etc.).
At the moment, I am unable to fully implement these features for Kick because there are no publicly available API endpoints that provide this type of user status data. As a result, I had to disable these filtering features in the Kick version of the app.
This functionality is already supported on Twitch via their public API, which makes it much easier to build interactive tools for streamers.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like Kick to provide API endpoints (or equivalent functionality) that allow developers to retrieve:
- List of users currently in chat
- Whether a user follows a channel
- Whether a user is subscribed (including whether the subscription is gifted)
- Whether a user has VIP (or OG) status
- Whether a user is a moderator
Additionally, it would be helpful to know what authentication scopes/permissions would be required to access this data.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have considered alternative approaches such as:
- Limiting the functionality of the app for Kick users (current solution)
- Attempting to infer user status indirectly (not reliable or scalable)
However, these approaches significantly reduce the usefulness and feature parity of the application compared to Twitch.
Additional context
For reference, Twitch provides the following endpoints for similar functionality:
Having similar endpoints on Kick would greatly improve the ability for developers to build engagement tools and interactive experiences for streamers.
Thank you for your consideration!
