Snapchat Video / Story Downloader

Get a public Snapchat user's current Story — direct, downloadable video (and optionally image) URLs with timestamps — as clean JSON. No login, no browser to manage. Give it a username or a profile URL and it returns the account's live Story snaps.

Pricing: $2.00 per 1,000 results (pay per result — one result = one snap). You are charged only for snaps actually returned; an account with no live Story costs nothing.

Note on availability: Snapchat Stories expire after ~24 hours, so the specific snaps rotate. An active creator (e.g. kyliejenner, nba, snoopdogg) almost always has a live Story; an account with nothing posted in the last day returns zero snaps (a legitimate empty result, not an error).

Run it from code

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("good-apis/snapchat-video-downloader").call(
    run_input={"username": "kyliejenner", "videos_only": True}
)
for snap in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(snap["type"], snap["media_url"])

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('good-apis/snapchat-video-downloader').call({
    username: 'kyliejenner',
    videos_only: true,
});
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/Story page — no account.

Why did I get zero snaps? The account has no live Story right now (Stories expire ~24h). That is a legitimate empty result and you are not charged. Try an active creator such as kyliejenner or nba.

Are the media URLs really downloadable? Yes — media_url is a direct CDN link you can fetch with any HTTP client.

Images too? Set videos_only to false to include image snaps alongside videos.
