Viewer Activity

Viewer activity data comes from Kicklet's stored viewer activity and channel state. These helpers read data; helpers that change balances or variables are documented on Viewer Points and Variables.

sender is the viewer who triggered the current command or message context. Use sender.username when you need the current command sender, and use channel.user(username) when you need channel data for another username. username is the Kick username shown for that viewer.

channel.followAge(viewer) returns formatted text. Use channel.followAgeSeconds(viewer) for a numeric age, or channel.followingSince(viewer) when you need the raw follow timestamp.

Returns how long a viewer has followed the channel in seconds.

API reference

channel.followAgeSeconds

channel.followAgeSeconds(username)

channel.user(username) returns the normalized channel viewer object for an individual Kick username, including:

{
  "username": "exampleUser",
  "slug": "exampleuser",
  "badges": [
    {
      "active": true,
      "sort_order": 14,
      "text": "Verified channel",
      "type": "verified"
    }
  ],

  "followAge": "30d 0h 0m",
  "subscribedFor": 0,
  "isMod": false,
  "isSub": false,
  "isBroadcaster": false
}

Each entry in badges is the badge data returned by Kick. The commonly available fields are active, sort_order, text, and type. The isMod, isSub, and isBroadcaster fields are convenient permission flags derived from the viewer data.

The returned viewer also provides hasBadge(badge) and hasPermission(permission) helper methods. These methods are intentionally not included when the object is printed with JSON.stringify() or console.log().
