Snapchat Scraper

Scrape public Snapchat profiles and their public content without logging in. Give it a list of usernames or profile URLs and get structured data: profile metadata, subscriber counts, stories, spotlights (with view counts and hashtags), curated highlights, AR lenses, related accounts, and a ready-made analytics summary.

What it scrapes

For each public profile (https://www.snapchat.com/add/<username>):

• Profile: display name, handle, verified badge, category & subcategory, subscriber count, bio, location, website, avatar, snapcode, business profile id, linked social accounts, creation/last-update timestamps.
• Stories: public Story snaps — media URL, preview URL, media type, timestamp.
• Spotlights: each highlight with view count, share count, duration, dimensions, hashtags, keywords, creator, context cards, and its snaps.
• Curated highlights: saved Story highlights and their snaps.
• Lenses: creator AR lenses — name, preview image/video, icon, unlock URL.
• Related accounts: suggested public accounts with subscriber counts.
• Analytics: totals, total/average/max spotlight views, unique + top hashtags.

Input

Field	Type	Description
profiles	array (required)	Usernames or profile URLs, e.g. fcbarcelona or https://www.snapchat.com/add/nba.
includeStories	boolean	Include public Story snaps (default true).
includeSpotlights	boolean	Include Spotlight highlights + metadata (default true).
includeHighlights	boolean	Include curated highlights (default true).
includeLenses	boolean	Include creator lenses (default true).
includeRelatedAccounts	boolean	Include related accounts (default true).
maxSnapsPerItem	integer	Cap snaps per story/spotlight/highlight, 0 = all.
computeAnalytics	boolean	Attach analytics summary (default true).
maxConcurrency	integer	Parallel requests (default 10).
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy (datacenter by default; residential selectable).

Output (per profile)

Includes simple flat keys (profileUrl, username1, username2, profileImageUrl, profileDescription, profileLocation, subscribers, category, websiteUrl, snapcodeImageUrl, stories, spotlights) plus the extras listed above (verified, subcategory, subscribersCount, curatedHighlights, lenses, relatedAccounts, sameAsLinks, links, analytics, timestamps, and richer per-snap / per-spotlight fields).

Non-public results are still reported: personal accounts get profileType: "personal", and missing handles get profileType: "not_found".

Note on subscriber counts: Snapchat publishes a subscriber count for many creator/brand profiles but not all; when a profile does not display one, subscribers is 0. Counts that are shown are returned exactly as Snapchat reports them.

Pricing

This actor runs on a pay-per-event model:

• Actor start — $0.01, charged once when a run starts.
• Profile scraped — $0.007 per public profile delivered, including its stories, spotlights, curated highlights, lenses, related accounts and analytics.

Personal accounts, not-found handles and error records are not charged. There is no monthly rental — you pay only for the public profiles a run actually returns.

Support & feedback

Found a rough edge or need another field? Open an issue on the actor's Issues tab — requests and bug reports are welcome and shape the roadmap. If this actor saves you time, a rating on the Store page genuinely helps.
