Connect Kick

Kick uses OAuth (PKCE). You create a developer app and — unlike Twitch — you must explicitly enable the right permissions on the app, otherwise some actions fail (401 error).

1. Create the Kick app

1. Go to kick.com/developer (or your Kick developer settings).
2. Create an app and add the redirect URL: http://localhost:4747/api/auth/kick/callback

2. Enable the permissions (important)

On the Kick app, check exactly:

• Read user information
• Read channel information
• Write to Chat feed
• Update channel information (for stream control)
• Both moderation permissions:
  • “Execute moderation actions for moderators”
  • ”… on chat messages”

Missing permissions = 401 error

If a chat, moderation or stream-control action returns 401, it’s almost always a permission forgotten here. Check it, then reconnect.

3. Connect, then reconnect after any change

Paste the credentials into Connections → Kick, then connect. After every change to the permissions, apply the golden rule: disconnect then reconnect to regenerate the token.

⚠️ Good to know about Kick

• No real-time individual follow events: Streamly receives the count of followers, not an alert per new follower.
• Off-live, the category/tags shown come from the last value applied from Streamly (the Kick API doesn’t expose them off-live).
