Create a developer appCopy Anchor Link

On kick.com open your account settings and the Developer tab (kick.com/settings/developer), then create a new app. Give the app the name people will see when they authorize it.

Add the redirect URL and scopeCopy Anchor Link

Enter the redirect URL and select only the user information scope (user:read):

VitNode builds it from VITNODE_WEB_URL, so it must match exactly. Use localhost, which Kick recommends. A known bug on Kick's side rewrites the first 127.0.0.1 in an authorization URL, so a 127.0.0.1 redirect URL no longer matches.

Copy the credentialsCopy Anchor Link

Copy the Client ID and Client Secret into server-side variables:

KICK_CLIENT_ID=01ABCDEFGHJKMNPQRSTVWXYZ
KICK_CLIENT_SECRET=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Add the adapterCopy Anchor Link

Add KickSSOApiPlugin to authorization.ssoAdapters in the API's vitnode.api.config.ts (where it lives), next to any adapters you already have. Keep the rest of the config as it is:

import { KickSSOApiPlugin } from '@vitnode/core/api/adapters/sso/kick'
import { buildApiConfig } from '@vitnode/core/vitnode.config'

export const vitNodeApiConfig = buildApiConfig({
  // ...
  authorization: {
    ssoAdapters: [
      // ...
      KickSSOApiPlugin({
        clientId: process.env.KICK_CLIENT_ID,
        clientSecret: process.env.KICK_CLIENT_SECRET,
      }),
    ],
  },
})

No authorization block yet? Create one with just ssoAdapters, as in the SSO setup. Then restart the dev server, since .env and the API config are only read at start-up.

Check the resultCopy Anchor Link

Open /login, press the Kick button under Continue with and allow access. The first time, VitNode asks for an email and sends a confirmation link. Open it in the same browser. After that, the same Kick account signs straight in.
