Snapchat Profile Scraper

🚀 Snapchat Scraper — Public Profiles, Spotlight Videos, Views, Comments & Transcripts

Extract Snapchat data without an account. The Snapchat Scraper turns any public profile — or any keyword — into clean JSON, CSV or Excel: subscriber counts, bios, categories, the latest Spotlight videos with direct video URLs, views, shares, captions, hashtags, comments and spoken-word transcripts, current story snaps, curated highlights and lenses.

✨ Features

• 👤 Public profiles: display name, bio, subscriber count, category, website, profile and hero images, Snapcode, related accounts, creation date.
• 🎬 Spotlight videos: a profile's ~30 most recent videos with direct MP4 and thumbnail URLs, view and share counts, caption, hashtags, sound, duration and upload date.
• 💬 Comments: the top comments on every video with author, time and likes.
• 🗣️ Transcripts: the spoken words of each video as plain text, whenever Snapchat provides a transcript — ready for search, sentiment or AI analysis.
• 📖 Stories & highlights: the profile's live story snaps (image/video URLs) and its curated highlight albums.
• 🔍 Keyword search: type a topic (skincare, basketball) and every public profile Snapchat lists for it is scraped automatically.
• 🎭 Lenses: the profile's published lenses with preview images and unlock links.
• 📅 Incremental runs: a postedAfter date so scheduled runs only fetch what is new.
• ⚡ No login, no browser: hundreds of profiles per minute.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Add usernames – handles (nba, @kyliejenner) or profile URLs, one per line.
2. Or add search queries – keywords whose public profiles you want to collect.
3. Set limits – maxVideos per profile and, for scheduled runs, postedAfter. Untick Include transcripts if you don't need them.
4. Run the scraper – results land in the dataset, ready to download or fetch via API, webhook or scheduled run.

💵 Pricing

Pay only for what you extract — no fee per run:

Event	Price
Profile	$0.002 per profile
Video	$0.001 per video

A profile with its 30 latest Spotlight videos costs about $0.03; monitoring 100 creators weekly costs about $3 per run. Comments, transcripts, stories and lenses are included in those prices.

Story snaps come through as "source": "story" videos with videoUrl or imageUrl and postedAt. Personal (non-public) accounts return a profile with isPublicProfile: false and display name, Bitmoji and Snapcode only.

ℹ️ Good to know

• Snapchat shows a profile's ~30 most recent Spotlight videos on the web; older videos are not available. Run on a schedule with postedAfter to build up a full history over time.
• Stories expire after 24 hours — they are included only while live.
• Video, image and transcript URLs are signed and expire after a while — download what you need.
• Keyword search returns the public profiles Snapchat associates with the topic (typically 10–25 per query).
