Can not get user from api and cannot add stream from kick

[MrBrax]

current kick api has cloudflare checks over it, their public api seems to be launching soon-ish probably?

[stadler0]

Is there a way the pass the checks? If not I will just wait :)

[MrBrax]

not that i know of, they're there for a reason. would need to add like an embedded browser and at that point it's just considered api abuse

Okay thanks for the help! Will be waiting for the public api then ^^

[MrBrax]

also the biggest factor here is streamlink adding support, without that it would require a lot of workarounds
