Snapchat Spotlight Scraper

🚀 Snapchat Spotlight Scraper

Easily extract Snapchat Spotlight videos without an account. The Snapchat Spotlight Scraper collects the Spotlight videos for any hashtag, any list of video URLs, or any creator, and returns each video's views, shares, comment count, top comments, caption, hashtags, sound, spoken-word transcript and direct MP4 link, ready as JSON, CSV or Excel.

✨ Features

• #️⃣ Hashtag discovery: enter basketball or #skincare and get the Spotlight videos Snapchat shows for that hashtag.
• 🔗 Video tracking: paste Spotlight video URLs to record their current views, shares and comments, ideal for scheduled runs that track performance over time.
• 👤 Creator videos: add a handle and get the creator's most recent Spotlight videos.
• 📈 Engagement data: views, shares and total comment count per video, plus the top comments with author, date, likes and reply count.
• 🗣️ Transcripts: the spoken words of each video as plain text, whenever Snapchat provides them.
• 🎬 Media & metadata: direct MP4 and thumbnail URLs, caption, hashtags, sound, duration, resolution, upload date and Snapchat's descriptive video title.
• 🧹 No duplicates: a video found through several hashtags, URLs or creators is saved and charged once.
• ⚡ No login, no browser: fast and light.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Add hashtags, video URLs or creators – any mix, one per line. Hashtags work with or without #; creators as nba, @nba or a profile URL.
2. Set Max videos – the cap for the whole run (default 50). Videos are taken from your hashtags, URLs and creators in turn, so a single hashtag can't use up the whole limit.
3. Run the scraper – one row per video lands in the dataset, ready to download or to fetch via API, webhook or a scheduled run.

💡 Good to Know

• Snapchat shows about 32 videos per hashtag and about 30 per creator. For more videos on a topic, add related hashtags. The run's status message tells you when it stopped because the hashtags and creators ran out rather than at your limit.
• Some videos are not available on the web. Roughly 1 in 5 hashtag videos can't be opened on snapchat.com (removed, private or app-only). They are skipped and not charged, and the status message reports how many.
• Tracking performance: save your video URLs in a task and schedule it daily; each run records fresh view, share and comment counts with a scrapedAt timestamp.
