Kick Drops Miner

Self-hosted AFK miner for Kick Drops – github.com/darkmatterdavson/kickdropsminer. Fork of rangermix/TwitchDropsMiner. The web UI is taken 1:1 from rangermix/TwitchDropsMiner (MIT); the backend is rewritten for Kick.

Features

• Stream-less mining – watches via Kick's viewer WebSocket, no video is downloaded
• Automatic campaign discovery and game priority (Games to Watch, drag & drop)
• Automatic channel switching when a stream goes offline or changes game
• Wanted Drops Queue works like TwitchDropsMiner: only games in Games to Watch are mined, in that order. ➕ Mine in Inventory appends the game to the end of the queue
• Manual mode – click a channel; falls back to auto mode when the channel goes offline
• Auto-claim of rewards + drop history (CSV export, stats)
• Telegram & Discord notifications
• Ignored drop keywords, Mining Hours, proxy (with verification)
• Dashboard password (Settings → Dashboard password)
• 20 UI languages, dark / light mode
• Diagnostics dump to data/diagnostics

Running

Docker Compose (recommended)

docker compose up -d --build

Open http://localhost:8080.

From source

python -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py

Requires Python 3.11+.

Signing in

1. Log in on kick.com in your browser.
2. Open DevTools (F12) → Application → Cookies → https://kick.com and copy the session_token cookie value.
3. Paste it on the sign in screen.

A full Cookie header, a Cookie-Editor JSON export or cookies.txt also works. The token is stored in data/session.json. Do not log out on kick.com in that browser, or the token stops working.

Environment variables

Variable	Default	Description
PORT	8080	Web UI port
DATA_DIR	/app/data	Settings, session, history, dashboard password
DEFAULT_LANGUAGE	English	Default UI language (e.g. Deutsch, Čeština)
PUBLIC_BASE_URL	–	Exact public URL behind a reverse proxy (origin check + Secure cookie)
LOG_LEVEL	INFO	Log level

Behind a reverse proxy, make sure WebSockets on /socket.io/ are forwarded.

How it works

Step	Endpoint
Campaigns	GET web.kick.com/api/v1/drops/campaigns
Progress	GET web.kick.com/api/v1/drops/progress
Live streams in category	GET web.kick.com/api/v1/livestreams?category_id=…
Channel state	GET kick.com/api/v2/channels/{slug}
Watching	websockets.kick.com/viewer/v1/token → WS tracking.user.watch.livestream
Claim	POST web.kick.com/api/v1/drops/claim

HTTP requests use curl_cffi with a Chrome TLS fingerprint (Cloudflare). Kick's API is undocumented and may change.

Project layout

main.py           entrypoint (uvicorn)
kdm/kick.py       Kick HTTP client + cookie parsing
kdm/watcher.py    viewer WebSocket
kdm/miner.py      queue, channel selection, claiming, UI events
kdm/web.py        FastAPI REST + Socket.IO
kdm/auth.py       dashboard password (from TwitchDropsMiner)
web/, lang/       UI and translations (from TwitchDropsMiner)

Disclaimer

Automated watching may violate Kick's terms of service. Use at your own risk. The session token grants full access to your account – do not expose the UI without a password.
