Function fetch_channel_info 

pub async fn fetch_channel_info(username: &str) -> Result<ChannelInfo>

Fetch public channel information from Kick’s v2 API.

Returns chatroom settings, subscriber badges, user profile, and livestream status for any channel. No authentication required.

This uses curl as a subprocess because Kick’s Cloudflare protection blocks HTTP libraries based on TLS fingerprinting. curl ships with Windows 10+, macOS, and virtually all Linux distributions.

Example

use kick_api::fetch_channel_info;

let info = fetch_channel_info("xqc").await?;

// Chatroom settings
println!("Chatroom ID: {}", info.chatroom.id);
println!("Slow mode: {}", info.chatroom.slow_mode);
println!("Followers only: {}", info.chatroom.followers_mode);

// Subscriber badges
for badge in &info.subscriber_badges {
    println!("{}mo badge: {}", badge.months, badge.badge_image.src);
}

// Livestream status
if let Some(stream) = &info.livestream {
    println!("{} is live with {} viewers", info.slug, stream.viewer_count);
}
