Tips

  • Snapchat returns approximately 24-32 Spotlight videos per hashtag
  • Video download URLs contain expiring tokens - download promptly
  • Works without proxy, but proxy can help with rate limiting
  • Some creators may have empty usernames due to privacy settings

Limitations

  • Maximum ~32 videos per hashtag (server-side rendering limit)
  • No pagination support (single page of results)
  • Video URLs expire after some time
  • Content may vary based on geographic location of the server
