## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Snapchat Profile Scraper

Get a **public Snapchat profile** by username — display name, subscriber count, bio, website, snapcode
and profile picture — as clean, structured JSON. No login, no browser to manage. Give it a username
**or** a profile URL and it returns one complete profile record.

**Pricing: $2.50 per 1,000 results** (pay per result). You are charged only for profiles actually
returned — a not-found lookup costs nothing.

### What you get

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `username` | Snapchat username |
| `display_name` | Public display name / title |
| `subscribers` | Subscriber count (integer) |
| `bio` | Profile bio / description, when present |
| `website` | Linked website URL, when present |
| `address` | Public address, when present |
| `profile_picture` | Profile picture image URL |
| `snapcode` | Snapcode image URL |
| `url` | Direct link to the public profile |

### Input

| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `username` | yes | A Snapchat username (e.g. `kyliejenner`) **or** a full profile URL (`https://www.snapchat.com/add/kyliejenner`) |

```json
{ "username": "kyliejenner" }
```

```json
{ "username": "https://www.snapchat.com/add/cristiano" }
```

### Example output

```json
{
  "username": "kyliejenner",
  "display_name": "Kylie ✨",
  "subscribers": 30800000,
  "bio": null,
  "website": null,
  "address": null,
  "profile_picture": "https://cf-st.sc-cdn.net/aps/bolt/...",
  "snapcode": "https://app.snapchat.com/web/deeplink/snapcode?username=kyliejenner&type=SVG&bitmoji=enable",
  "url": "https://www.snapchat.com/add/kyliejenner"
}
```

### Run it from code

#### Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("good-apis/snapchat-profile-scraper").call(
    run_input={"username": "kyliejenner"}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["username"], item["subscribers"])
```

#### Node.js

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('good-apis/snapchat-profile-scraper').call({
    username: 'kyliejenner',
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

### FAQ

**Does it need my Snapchat login?** No. It reads only the public profile page — no account, no cookies.

**What if the username doesn't exist?** The run succeeds with an empty result and you are **not**
charged. Only returned profiles are billed.

**Can I pass a URL instead of a username?** Yes — a full `snapchat.com/add/<username>` URL works too.

**Is there a batch mode?** One profile per run. To scrape many, call the actor once per username (the
service returns in a few seconds each).

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "username": "kyliejenner"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("good-apis/snapchat-profile-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
