Snapchat Profile Scraper

Scrapes public Snapchat profile pages. Pass in a list of usernames, get back display names, bios, bitmoji URLs, snapcodes, and subscriber counts. No login needed.

Uses Puppeteer (headless Chrome) since Snapchat profiles are JS-rendered.

Input

{
    "usernames": ["djkhaled", "kyliejenner", "therock"],
    "maxProfiles": 100
}

• usernames (required) - Snapchat usernames to scrape. The @ prefix is optional, it gets stripped automatically.
• maxProfiles - Cap on total profiles to process. Default: 100.

Output

Field	Type	Description
username	string	The Snapchat username
displayName	string	Display name shown on profile
bio	string	Profile bio/description
bitmoji	string	URL to bitmoji or profile image
snapcodeUrl	string	URL to the user's snapcode image
subscriberCount	string	Subscriber/follower count (if public)
url	string	Direct link to the profile
scrapedAt	string	ISO timestamp

Example output

{
    "username": "djkhaled",
    "displayName": "DJ Khaled",
    "bio": "We The Best Music",
    "bitmoji": "https://sdk.bitmoji.com/...",
    "snapcodeUrl": "https://app.snapchat.com/web/deeplink/snapcode?...",
    "subscriberCount": "25M",
    "url": "https://www.snapchat.com/add/djkhaled",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-03-22T10:00:00.000Z"
}

How it works

Visits snapchat.com/add/{username} for each user. Extracts data from multiple sources in order of reliability:

1. OpenGraph meta tags
2. __NEXT_DATA__ JSON blob
3. JSON-LD structured data
4. Page DOM elements as fallback

Each profile page gets a 3-second wait for JS to render.

Pricing

Uses a browser (Puppeteer), so it's more expensive than HTTP-only scrapers. Rough estimate: ~$1-2 per 1,000 profiles on Apify platform. Concurrency is limited to 2 to avoid rate limiting.

Limitations

• Only public profile data is accessible. Private profiles will return partial or null fields.
• Snapchat may change their page structure at any time, which could break extraction.
• Subscriber counts are only available for public/creator accounts.
• Rate limited to 2 concurrent browsers to stay under Snapchat's radar.
