What Is App Verification?
App Verification confirms that an application built on Kick is legitimate and trustworthy.
Verified apps receive:
- Verified badge on bot account to help distinguish them from impersonators or misleading copycats.
- Increased chat subscription limits (from 1,000 → 10,000 subscriptions)
How do I request verification for my app/bot?
To request verification, email the Kick Developer Team at developers@kick.com and include:
- Client ID
- App Name
- Whether the bot also requires verification
- Reason for verification request (e.g., large/fast-growing user base, documented impersonation issues, need for expanded subscription capacity)
- Supporting evidence (e.g., public website/Chrome extension, active user metrics, impersonation examples, summary of the legitimate use case)
