## Pricing

from $1.35 / 1,000 profiles

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

### 👻 Snapchat follower counts from public profiles

Social media analysts, creator teams, and developers can use **Snapchat Follower Count Scraper** to turn public Snapchat usernames, @usernames, and supported public-profile URLs into structured profile rows. Each row gives you the normalized username, subscriber count when Snapchat shows it, profile details, public links, images, and a Snapcode URL. This helps you compare public profiles and reuse the data in research and audience analysis.

- Compare public audience figures with **[Snapchat Subscriber Count](https://apify.com/maximedupre/snapchat-followers-scraper/examples/snapchat-subscriber-count)**.
- Check one public account and its available fields with **[Snapchat Profile Lookup](https://apify.com/maximedupre/snapchat-followers-scraper/examples/snapchat-profile-lookup)**.
- Collect structured metadata for one account with **[Snapchat Profile Data](https://apify.com/maximedupre/snapchat-followers-scraper/examples/snapchat-profile-data)**.
- Turn submitted profile identifiers into rows with **[Snapchat Followers Scraper](https://apify.com/maximedupre/snapchat-followers-scraper/examples/snapchat-followers-scraper)**.
- Review audience figures for a profile with **[Snapchat Followers](https://apify.com/maximedupre/snapchat-followers-scraper/examples/snapchat-followers)**.

#### 📊 Public Snapchat profile data

Each successfully collected row represents one public Snapchat profile. It includes the normalized username and required Snapcode URL, plus subscriber count, identity, bio, public contact and link data, images, category fields, location, activity indicators, and source-owned profile dates when Snapchat exposes them. The Actor does not collect follower or following lists.

**What you get**

Use the rows to compare public audience counts, review profile details, or pass normalized links and public contact fields into your own analysis.

#### ▶️ Turn profile identifiers into structured rows

1. Add one or more public Snapchat usernames, @usernames, or supported public-profile URLs to **Profile identifiers**.
2. Start with the prefilled `nba` value or replace it with the profiles you want to check.
3. Start the run and open `results` in the output panel.
4. Review the saved dataset rows. Optional fields can be absent when Snapchat does not expose them.

**Duplicate profiles**

If the same profile appears again through another submitted username form or URL in one run, the first eligible occurrence is saved and later duplicate matches are ignored.

#### ⚙️ Input

The input has one required field. Add one value per line in the input panel.

**Input fields**

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

#### 💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The primary `Profile` event is charged once for each successfully collected public profile saved to the default dataset. The price depends on your Apify plan and is shown in the Pricing tab before you run. No profile event is charged for an identifier that does not produce a saved profile row.

#### 🔌 Integrations

**Dataset access**

Use the `results` link in Apify or the Apify API to read the default dataset after a run. You can export the rows or pass them to your own workflow.

#### ❓ FAQ

##### Can it collect a follower or following list?

No. It returns profile-level subscriber or follower counts when Snapchat exposes them. It does not collect a profile's follower or following list.

##### What happens when I submit the same profile more than once?

The first eligible occurrence is saved. Later matches for the same profile are ignored in that run, even when they use another username form or profile URL.

##### Can I enter a username, @username, or profile URL?

Yes. Add a bare username, an `@username`, or a supported public Snapchat profile URL. You can add more than one identifier in the same run.

##### Does it collect private Snapchat profiles?

No. It collects publicly available profile information only. Private or otherwise inaccessible profiles are not included.

##### Do I need a Snapchat login or source credential?

No. You do not provide a Snapchat login or source credential for the public profile data you submit.

##### Why are some fields missing?

Snapchat does not expose every profile field for every account. Optional values such as email, links, images, location, and dates can be absent when the source does not provide them.

##### Is there a profile limit in the input?

The input has no actor-defined profile limit. It processes the identifiers you submit, subject to public source availability and normal run settings.
