Official API, with gaps

Perchy on Kick

Chat, moderation, rewards and events work through Kick's official API. Kick has no polls, clips, shoutouts or chat modes in it yet, so Perchy says so and runs what it can in chat itself.

What Perchy can do

What works on Kick, and what does not.

Every row is read from the same table the bot uses, so the site cannot promise more than the bot can do.

Chat

  • Read chat

    Works with limits

    Works through signed webhooks. Until Kick verifies Perchy, it can read up to 1,000 channels in total, and Kick does not publish delivery and retry rules.

  • Send chat messages

    Works with limits

    Messages up to 500 characters. Kick's bot sender is reported broken for public apps, so Perchy sends as a normal account, and Kick publishes no send rate limits.

  • Announcements

    Not available

    Kick has no announcement message. Perchy uses a normal chat message.

  • Emote statistics

    Works

    Works as documented.

  • Chat modes, like slow mode

    Not available

    Kick's API cannot change slow, followers only or subscribers only mode. Use Kick's own chat commands.

Engage

  • Native polls

    Not available

    Kick has no poll API. Perchy runs the poll in chat and counts the votes itself.

  • Native predictions

    Not available

    Kick has no predictions. Perchy runs seed predictions in chat.

  • Clips

    Not available

    Kick's API cannot create clips. Perchy marks the moment and saves the VOD link.

  • Shoutouts

    Not available

    Kick has no shoutout. Perchy can post a normal chat message instead.

  • Channel point rewards

    Works with limits

    Rewards and redemptions work, but only for rewards that Perchy itself created.

    Perchy can start an ad break of 7 to 90 seconds. The upcoming schedule is not available.

Getting set up

Three steps to connect.

It takes a couple of minutes, and you can switch features on one at a time.

  1. 1

    Connect your channel

    You allow Perchy to read your channel and receive its events. Kick sends them to Perchy as signed messages, which Perchy checks before using.

  2. 2

    Perchy speaks through an account

    Kick sends chat messages as a normal account, so replies come from the account Perchy is connected to. To moderate, that account must be a moderator: type /mod in your chat.

  3. 3

    Expect honest limits

    Kick's API is young and changes often. When something is missing, the dashboard says so and offers the Perchy version.

Limits

Numbers worth knowing.

These come from the platform's own documentation, not from us.

  • Messages up to 500 characters and 2,048 bytes.
  • Timeouts run from 1 minute to 7 days.
  • Until Kick verifies Perchy, it can read the chat of up to 1,000 channels in total.
  • Kick does not publish its rate limits.

What Perchy does instead

  • Native polls. Runs the poll in chat and counts votes itself.
  • Native predictions. Runs seed predictions in chat.
  • Clips. Marks the moment and saves the VOD link.
  • Shoutouts. Posts a normal chat message.
  • Announcements. Uses a normal chat message.

Other platforms

Same bot on the other two.

Connect Kick and see for yourself.

Perchy asks only for what the features you switch on need.
