## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Kick Streamer Intelligence Monitor turns public Kick.com data into clean rows for creator research, sponsorship scouting, audience analysis, and scheduled watchlists. Choose channels, a search phrase, or a category, then return only the record types and changes your workflow needs.

### 🔍 What does this Kick monitor do?

- Collects public channel profiles, live streams, VOD broadcasts, and clips.
- Keeps stable record IDs, direct source links, collection timestamps, and input labels.
- Filters by followers, viewers, language, tags, verification, affiliate status, and mature-content flags.
- Sorts results deterministically with stable ID tie-breaking.
- Compares successful runs using a named state key and emits meaningful change records.
- Keeps failed or truncated scans from creating false expiry events.

Missing source values stay empty. The Actor does not access private chat, download media, or guess unavailable profile details.

### 💡 Who uses this Kick data?

- **Sponsorship teams** compare creator reach, live audience, category, and verification signals before starting outreach.
- **Creator managers** monitor a watchlist for live status, audience changes, and new public video activity.
- **Esports and media researchers** map categories, languages, tags, and audience signals across Kick.
- **Content teams** collect VOD and clip references for a focused set of public channels.
- **Data product teams** build a recurring creator dataset without maintaining source-specific collection work.

### ❓ FAQ

##### Can I monitor several Kick channels together?

Yes. Add channel slugs to `watchlist`, optionally giving each target an `inputId` for your downstream workflow.

##### Can I collect only live streams or clips?

Yes. Set `recordTypes` to the rows you need. Watchlists, searches, and categories can use different record selections.

##### How does changes mode work?

Use the same `stateKey` for scheduled runs. The Actor compares successful scans and emits new, updated, reappeared, expired, or unchanged records when requested.

##### Does it access private Kick information?

No. It returns only public channel, livestream, VOD, clip, and profile fields that Kick publishes. It does not access private chat or account-only content.

##### What happens if a source request fails?

The run emits an explicit failure record. It does not advance monitoring state or mark missing records as expired.

### 🛟 Support

If a public Kick field is important to your workflow, open an issue from the Actor page with a representative source link and the output you expected.
