  "account": "Kick streamers frequently advertise their sponsors using chat commands, brand links in the channel's link panel, and promo codes. A tool built on Apify was created to scan live streams on Kick, read each channel's titles, links, and the last month of broadcasts, and return one row per streamer and brand. This tool was used to identify which streamers sponsor various energy drink brands. Users can input their desired brands, such as HOLY, G FUEL, Red Bull, and DZIK, along with a maximum of 10,000 live streams and a minimum viewer count of 1. The tool scans through 10,000 live streams, selecting the 26 streamers whose live title names one of the brands, and examines each channel in depth. This process takes around four minutes. For each sponsorship, the tool displays where the brand appears (live title, past broadcast titles, channel links, bio), how many times the brand was mentioned in the streamer's last 30 broadcasts, how many hours those mentions took, and any promo or affiliate codes. For example, rybsonlol had 20,518 viewers and sponsored HOLY in all 30 of their recent broadcasts, totaling 276.6 hours. The summary for HOLY shows it was sponsored by 16 streamers, yielding 26,211 live viewers at the time, 357 broadcasts, and 2,507 hours in the past month. DZIK and G FUEL each had 5 streamers sponsoring them, while Red Bull had no sponsors in this scan. The tool costs $3 per 1,000 sponsorships with no start fee, and the cost for this run was approximately $0.18. The tool recognizes about 110 brands out of the box and can track any brand input the same way. The sponsorships indicate that the channel is directing viewers to the brand, but it is not a confirmed contract. Running the tool daily adds a 'isNew' column, highlighting new sponsorships. The tool's data is based on public information and costs $3 per 1,000 sponsorships with no start fee; it does not require a login and uses public data only.",
  "summary": "Kick streamers advertise their sponsors in plain sight: a chat command in the stream title, a brand link in the channel's link panel, sometimes a promo code. Nobody collects that across channels, so I built a small tool on Apify that does: it scans the live streams on Kick, reads each channel's titles, links and the last month of broadcasts, and returns one row per streamer and brand.
