Kick livestream.status.updated webhook payload example

Kick · event: livestream.status.updated · content type: application/json

This is a representative sample — fake IDs, real structure. To see a payload with your data, point the provider at a capture URL (button below).

See it live, not frozen

One click creates a free capture bin with this exact payload already in it — pretty-printed, headers inspectable, replayable to your own endpoint:

Then paste the bin's URL into Kick's webhook settings to capture a real delivery. No signup.

Things that bite people

This example's signature actually verifies against the sample RSA public key on the chat.message.sent example (same keypair; real events verify the same way with Kick's published platform key). It's RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 / SHA-256 over messageId + "." + timestamp + "." + rawBody — not Ed25519, not HMAC. Paste into the signature debugger (Kick scheme) or set the Kick scheme on a capture bin.
One event, two moments: livestream.status.updated fires for both stream start and stream end. Start: is_live: true, ended_at: null. End (shown here): is_live: false with both timestamps set. There is no separate stream.online/offline pair like Twitch — branch on is_live.
Timestamps keep the broadcaster's UTC offset (RFC3339 with +11:00 here, not Z-normalized) — naive string comparison or a parser that assumes UTC will mis-order events. The header timestamp, by contrast, is what goes into the signature — feed it to your verifier byte-for-byte.
Title/category/language changes do not fire this event — they arrive as livestream.metadata.updated (a separate subscription with a metadata envelope). Subscribing only to status updates and expecting title changes is a common miss.
Auto-unsubscribe: if your endpoint keeps failing an event for over a day, Kick silently unsubscribes the app from that event — a "stream notifications just stopped" report after an outage usually means re-subscribe. Capture to a durable bin while debugging so you can relay to localhost without losing deliveries.
