Parameters

Start with the required fields, then add optional filters only when your use case needs them.

Runnable path

This endpoint has no required query parameters.

7 optional filters available.

feed string Optional

cursor for the paginated feed, featured for the no-cursor rail. Defaults to cursor. The featured rail applies only language; the cursor-only parameters below are rejected on it.

Example value cursor
sort string Optional

featured or featured_home. Defaults to featured. Cursor feed only; rejected with feed=featured.

Example value featured
limit integer Optional

Streams per page, up to 100. Defaults to 24. Cursor feed only; rejected with feed=featured.

Example value 24
language string Optional

Filter by language code from the languages endpoint. The only filter the feed=featured rail applies, and the only parameter it accepts — it is required there, because Kick rejects a rail request without it. Optional on the cursor feed.

Example value en
category_id integer Optional

Filter by subcategory id, not the top-level category id. Cursor feed only; rejected with feed=featured.

Example value 1234567890
after string Optional

Opaque cursor for the next page. Cursor feed only; rejected with feed=featured.

Example value example
before string Optional

Opaque cursor for the previous page. Cursor feed only; rejected with feed=featured.

Example value example
