kick-ts-api

Modern, secure TypeScript client for the Kick.com API with OAuth 2.1, retries, and rate limiting.

Note: Kick's public API surface may evolve. Validate endpoints against https://docs.kick.com/.

Install

pnpm add kick-ts-api

Usage

import { KickClient, Resources, StaticTokenProvider } from 'kick-ts-api';

const client = new KickClient({
  tokenProvider: new StaticTokenProvider(process.env.KICK_TOKEN || ''),
});

const resources = new Resources(client);
const user = await resources.public.getUserBySlug('some-channel');
console.log(user);

Features

• Robust HTTP client (timeouts, retries with backoff, 429/5xx retry, rate limiting)
• Token provider abstraction (plug your OAuth flow)
• Strict TypeScript types, zero any
• ESM + CJS builds, full type declarations
• Vitest test setup, ESLint + Prettier, TypeDoc docs

Security

• Never hardcode tokens. Use environment variables or secret stores.
• Sends Authorization: Bearer <token> when a token provider is configured.
• Handle scopes and token refresh in your token provider implementation.
