Snapchat Profile Scraper: Subscribers, Stories & Spotlight

Scrape Snapchat public profiles of creators, brands and organisations without logging in. For every profile you get subscribers, name, bio, website, category, verified badge and creation date, its story activity (snaps live now, last story), saved highlights, lenses and related accounts, plus the Spotlight videos shown on the profile with views, shares, comments and boosts.

• Profile numbers: subscribers (when the profile shows them), verified badge, category and subcategory (e.g. Business group · Sports league), website, country, created and last updated dates
• Activity: how many story snaps are live right now and when the last was posted, latest Spotlight date
• Spotlight videos: caption, date, duration, views, shares, comments, boosts, recommends, sound, thumbnail and video address, plus medians per profile
• Highlights and lenses: saved story highlights with their snap counts, the profile's lenses, related accounts Snapchat suggests
• Personal accounts are skipped: only Snapchat public profiles are read
• No login, no API key, no proxy

Good to know

• Public profiles only: Snapchat public profiles belong to creators, brands, media and organisations. A personal account's page is skipped and noted in RUN_SUMMARY; nothing from it is saved.
• Subscribers: some profiles hide the count; those rows have subscribersHidden: true.
• Spotlight views: Snapchat hides views on some videos (often the newest ones of big accounts); shares, comments and boosts are still there. Medians use the videos that show a number.
• About 15 Spotlight videos per profile: the ones Snapchat shows on the profile page.
• Stories: the count of snaps live now; story media is not downloaded.
• No login, no cookies, no proxies needed.

Field	Meaning
