## 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 Spotlight Scraper

Snapchat Spotlight Scraper by Omkar Cloud gets you 🎯 accurate, 🔍 detailed Snapchat Spotlight data.

Snapchat splits its data across half a dozen separate web apps, encrypted media and binary-only APIs to stop you from getting it. Snapchat Spotlight Scraper beats it — no account, no login — and reads Snapchat live on every run, so you get Spotlight videos by user, hashtag, topic or the trending feed of any country, and can successfully complete your project.

**$1 per 1,000 videos.** And with Apify's free plan you get $5 of credit every month, so your first **~5,000 videos each month are free**.

This is an excellent Actor made by Omkar Cloud, which is Rated Excellent — [4.7 based on 30 reviews on Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/omkar.cloud).

👉 [**Try Snapchat Spotlight Scraper free**](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/snapchat-spotlight-scraper) — your first ~5,000 videos are Free.

### What can I get

- 🎬 **Every Spotlight video** — views, shares, comments, boosts, recommends, caption & hashtags
- 🔥 **Trending feed of any country** — what's blowing up in the US, UK, India and beyond
- \#️⃣ **Hashtags & topics** — the top videos for any hashtag or Snapchat topic page
- 📝 **Transcripts & comments** — the spoken words and top comments of every video

### Why Snapchat Spotlight Scraper

Most other Snapchat Spotlight scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

- 🧩 **Low-detail data** — a video link and a view count, never the comments, sound or transcript
- 🗄️ **Inaccurate, cached, stale data** — yesterday's numbers are useless
- 💸 **Pay more to get the same data** — $3–$5 per 1,000 videos elsewhere
- 🪦 **Works today, breaks next month** — nobody maintains it

Snapchat Spotlight Scraper reads Snapchat live, is priced honestly, and actively maintained.
