## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### 👻 Find Public Snapchat Accounts

Social media researchers, creator teams, marketers, and developers can use Snapchat Accounts Scraper to find public Snapchat accounts by keyword, handle, or profile URL. It returns structured profile rows with usernames, names, biographies, profile links, audience counts, categories, related accounts, public contact emails when exposed, and available public Snapchat content. Keep account discovery and profile review in one dataset that you can read in Apify or through the API.

- Look up public profiles and save matching accounts with **[Snapchat Usernames](https://apify.com/maximedupre/snapchat-accounts-scraper/examples/snapchat-usernames)**.
- Review profiles found through keyword discovery with **[Snapchat Creators](https://apify.com/maximedupre/snapchat-accounts-scraper/examples/snapchat-creators)**.
- Compare audience and category signals for public profiles with **[Snapchat Influencers](https://apify.com/maximedupre/snapchat-accounts-scraper/examples/snapchat-influencers)**.
- Collect details for accounts you already know with **[Snapchat Profiles](https://apify.com/maximedupre/snapchat-accounts-scraper/examples/snapchat-profiles)**.
- Build a list from one keyword with **[Snapchat Accounts](https://apify.com/maximedupre/snapchat-accounts-scraper/examples/snapchat-accounts)**.

#### 📊 Public Snapchat account rows

Each saved row represents one public Snapchat account found from a submitted keyword, handle, or profile URL. Rows can include identity details, biographies, public profile links and images, subscriber and follower counts, public categories, websites, locations, business details, related accounts, public contact emails, lenses, transcripts, stories, highlights, and Spotlight content when Snapchat exposes them.

#### ▶️ Find accounts by keyword or target

Choose `Keywords`, `Handles`, or `Profile URLs` in the input form. Submit one keyword list per run, or provide direct public handles or profile URLs. The first eligible occurrence of an account is saved as soon as it is found. If the same account appears again from another submitted keyword, handle, or URL, later matches are ignored, and `matchedInput` keeps the first value that caused the row to be saved.

Set `Maximum results` when you want to stop after a chosen number of rows. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted. Turn on curated highlights when you also want available highlight snaps in the account rows. Each returned curated highlight snap is a separate billable event.

#### ⚙️ Input

Choose one discovery method per run. The selected method uses its matching field, and the other option sections are ignored for that run. Public profile data and available public enrichment is returned when Snapchat exposes it.

**Input fields**

| Field | Type | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |

The same beta build returned populated `curatedHighlights` for the `@nba` handle input and `activeStories` for the public profile URL input. Optional nested data appears when Snapchat exposes it and the selected input allows it.

#### 💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The current price for each event is shown in Apify's Pricing tab before a run.

| Event | What it covers |
| --- | --- |
| Public Profile | One public account profile saved with identity, audience counts, classification, and available profile details. |
| Highlight Snap | One available curated highlight snap saved with media links, story details, date, and creator context. |

`Public Profile` covers the account row and its available profile data. `Highlight Snap` applies only when curated highlights are enabled and a highlight snap is saved.

#### 🔌 Integrations

Open the dataset in Apify, read it with the Apify API, or export the structured rows for a downstream workflow.

#### ❓ FAQ

##### How do I collect one known Snapchat account?

Choose `Handles` for a public username or `Profile URLs` for a public profile URL. Add more than one target to process a batch in one run.

##### Can I run several independent keyword searches in one run?

No. Use one keyword list per run. The selector chooses one discovery method, and the other option sections are ignored for that run.

##### What happens when the same account matches more than one input?

The first eligible occurrence is saved immediately. Later matches are ignored, and the row keeps the first submitted keyword, handle, or profile URL in `matchedInput`.

##### What happens when I leave `maxItems` empty?

The Actor returns all available results until the source is exhausted. Set a positive integer when you want to stop sooner.

##### Can I collect curated highlights with the account profile?

Yes. Turn on `includeCuratedHighlights`. Available highlight snaps are added to the account row, and each returned highlight snap is a separate billable event.

##### Does the Actor access private Snapchat accounts?

No. It collects public Snapchat data and does not require a Snapchat login, session, or API key. Private or login-gated data is outside its scope.

##### Why are some profile or content fields empty?

Snapchat does not expose every field for every public account. Optional fields stay empty or absent when the source does not provide them.

##### Are returned media links permanent?

No. The Actor returns source links when Snapchat exposes them. It does not permanently host or archive the source media, and Snapchat may change or expire a link.

# Actor input Schema

## `findProfilesBy` (type: `string`):

Choose one way to find public Snapchat profiles. Use one keyword list, one handle list, or one list of profile URLs per run.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Enter one or more keywords. Accounts found from this one list are returned as public profile records.

## `handles` (type: `array`):

Enter one or more public Snapchat handles, with or without @. Each handle is checked as a direct account target.

## `profileUrls` (type: `array`):

Enter one or more public Snapchat profile URLs. Each URL is checked as a direct account target.

## `includeCuratedHighlights` (type: `boolean`):

Turn this on to collect available curated highlight snaps in addition to account data. Each returned highlight snap is a separate billable event.

## `postedAfter` (type: `string`):

Only return story and video content posted after this date. The date is interpreted in UTC and does not change account profile results.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Filter keyword discovery or public contact leads by this location when Snapchat exposes a matching location signal. Omit this field to keep all locations.

## `contactEmailDomains` (type: `array`):

Limit public contact-email results to these domains, such as example.com. This filter is used when public contact emails are available.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Set a limit for the number of results. Leave this field empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted.
