Try the List Kick's top-level categories API

Returns Kick's top-level categories (Games, IRL, Music, Gambling, Creative, Alternative, Chat Roulette) with id, name, slug and icon. These slugs are the exact values the category parameter of kick-subcategories takes. Kick's website and its mobile app each list one parent the other omits (Gambling and Chat Roulette), so this call reads both and returns their union; icon is empty for a category only the app lists. The lists are read live from Kick.

List Kick's top-level categories

Response behavior

- Kick's website and its mobile app each list one parent the other omits: the website has `gambling` and no `chat-roulette`, the app has `chat-roulette` and no `gambling`. This call reads both and returns their union, so it makes two upstream calls and is priced at 2. - `icon` is empty for a category only the app lists (`chat-roulette`). - If the app's list is unavailable the call still succeeds: the known `chat-roulette` entry is added so the seven parents are always present. Example response (long values and lists shortened): ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "categories": [ { "id": 1, "name": "Games", "slug": "games", "icon": "🕹️" }, { "id": 2, "name": "IRL", "slug": "irl", "icon": "🎙️" }, { "id": 3, "name": "Music", "slug": "music", "icon": "🎹" }, { "id": 4, "name": "Gambling", "slug": "gambling", "icon": "🎰" }, { "id": 5, "name": "Creative", "slug": "creative", "icon": "🎨" }, { "id": 6, "name": "Alternative", "slug": "alternative", "icon": "👽" }, { "id": 110, "name": "Chat Roulette", "slug": "chat-roulette" } ] } } ```
