SnackVideo Scraper - Profiles, Videos, Hashtags, Search & Trending

Scrape public data from SnackVideo with no login and no account. One actor, six modes:

Mode	Input	What you get
Profile	usernames or profile URLs	Creator stats (followers, following, video count) + every video, newest first + their playlists
Video	video URLs, share links or IDs	Full details for each video
Hashtag	hashtags	Every video under a hashtag - the most complete way to collect a topic (thousands per hashtag)
Search	keywords	Videos SnackVideo recommends for the keyword (see note below)
Trending	nothing	The For You feed for the proxy's country
Playlist	playlist URLs or IDs	Playlist info + every video in it

Every video includes views, likes, comments, shares, caption, hashtags, upload time, duration, creator, music, a direct MP4 URL and a cover image.

Input example

{
  "mode": "profile",
  "usernames": ["https://www.snackvideo.com/@AgathisDammaraa41198"],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

Output example (one video)

{
  "_input": "5256413826759439232",
  "_source": "S1-api-slides",
  "_scrapedAt": "2026-09-24T19:07:33Z",
  "recordType": "VIDEO",
  "id": "5256413826759439232",
  "videoUrl": "https://www.snackvideo.com/@AgathisDammaraa41198/video/5256413826759439232",
  "profileUrl": "https://www.snackvideo.com/@AgathisDammaraa41198",
  "captionText": "KALAU MAU LIHAT laki2 yang SUKSES LIHATLAH DARI isterinya゚##donggggggg",
  "createdAt": "2026-09-21T22:11:04Z",
  "hashtags": ["donggggggg"],
  "durationMs": 24838,
  "playUrl": "https://aws-br-cdn.kwai.net/upic/2026/09/22/06/BMjAy...mp4?tag=...",
  "coverUrl": "https://aws-br-pic.kwai.net/upic/2026/09/22/06/BMjAy...webp",
  "view_count": 16099,
  "like_count": 297,
  "comment_count": 19,
  "forward_count": 266,
  "kwai_id": "AgathisDammaraa41198",
  "user_name": "Agathis Dammara",
  "photo_id_str": "5256413826759439232",
  "... 40 more SnackVideo fields": "music, ext_params, headurls, main_mv_urls, ..."
}

recordType is VIDEO, PROFILE, PLAYLIST or ERROR. An input that can't be scraped (deleted video, unknown user, empty hashtag) produces an ERROR row with _error = not_found / no_results / invalid_input instead of being dropped silently.

Good to know

• Search is a recommendation feed, not an exact search. SnackVideo returns different videos for the same keyword on every call, and only some of them mention it (it returns videos even for nonsense words). Each search result has keywordMatched; switch on Only keyword matches to keep just those. For complete, repeatable results on a topic, use Hashtag mode.
• Proxy country = content region. Trending and Search follow the country of the IP (Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh...). Set the proxy country to choose. SnackVideo doesn't block direct requests, so the proxy is about region, not access.
• Comments are not available. SnackVideo returns an empty comment list to anyone who isn't logged in, so this actor gives comment_count but not comment text.
• Playlists: SnackVideo lists up to 20 playlists per creator.
• Profile video count: the feed can end a few videos short of publicVideos (e.g. 60 of 64); that's all SnackVideo serves.
• playUrl and other media URLs are signed and expire after a few days, so download media soon after scraping.
• Use photo_id_str / id rather than photo_id. It is a 64-bit number that spreadsheets and JavaScript round off.

How it works (technical)

SnackVideo (Kuaishou's international app) is a Nuxt site backed by a JSON API on the same domain (/rest/o/w/...). Recon on 2026-09-25 found no WAF (Tengine origin, no Cloudflare/Akamai/DataDome) and no request signing: plain HTTP returns 200. The actor still sends browser-grade TLS (curl_cffi chrome124, rotating to safari17_0 / firefox133 / chrome99_android on any 403 or challenge page), retries with exponential backoff and jitter, and switches to a new proxy IP on transport errors or HTTP 429.
