Scrape saved story highlights from public Snapchat user profiles. Provide one or more usernames or profile URLs and get direct media URLs, thumbnails, story titles, and creator metadata — one record per individual snap.
What It Does

- Fetches the public profile page
- Extracts all curated story highlights (saved story albums)
- Returns one dataset record per snap (photo or video) across all highlights
No login, cookies, or browser required. Works on any public Snapchat creator profile.

FAQ
Does it work without a Snapchat account? Yes. This actor only scrapes publicly visible profile pages. No login or cookies are required.
Why is snapId sometimes missing?
Snapchat's curated highlight pages often don't embed the snap ID in the page data. The mediaUrl is always present and can be used to identify and download the content.
Do the media URLs expire? Snapchat CDN URLs may expire after some time. Download or cache the media files soon after scraping.
What about private profiles or regular (non-creator) accounts? Private profiles and regular user accounts without public highlights will produce an error record with an explanation. Only public creator profiles with curated highlights return snap data.
Can I scrape Spotlight videos too? Spotlight videos are handled by the sibling Snapchat Spotlight Video Downloader actor.
Will it work on all public profiles?
The actor works on public creator profiles (publicProfileInfo type). Regular user profiles with a userInfo structure do not expose public highlights and will return an error record.
