Function fetch_channel_info 

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

Fetch public channel information from Kick’s v2 API.

⚠️ Unofficial API — This uses Kick’s internal v2 API (/api/v2/channels/{slug}), not the public API. It may change or break without notice.

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);
}
