Scrape Snapchat Spotlight videos by hashtag. Provide one or more hashtag keywords and the actor returns video metadata, engagement stats, creator info, and video URLs from public Spotlight feeds — no account required.
What It Does
For each hashtag you provide, the actor:
- Navigates to
snapchat.com/spotlight/hashtag/<tag>and scrolls to load videos from the feed - Visits each video page and extracts metadata from server-side-rendered Open Graph tags
- Saves a structured record per video to the dataset
All data is extracted from public, unauthenticated Snapchat pages.
Input
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
hashtags | Array of strings | Hashtags to scrape (without the # symbol). Example: ["food", "travel"] |
maxItems | Integer | Maximum number of videos to return per hashtag |
Output
Each record contains:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
video_id | Unique Snapchat Spotlight video ID |
video_url | Full URL to the video page |

creator_username | Creator's @username |
