Snapchat Profile API | Stories & Highlights

Retrieve structured Snapchat profile data, stories, highlights, and related accounts for creator research and monitoring workflows. You provide a ScrapeCreators API key; this Actor returns one ready-to-export dataset item per successful profile.

Pricing

• $0.003 per successful profile result saved to the default dataset.
• Example: 100 successful profile results cost $0.30.
• Failed handles are written to a separate, unbilled errorResults dataset.
• Your API provider may charge separately for the API key you supply. This Actor does not require an Apify API token in the input.

Best for

• Creator and influencer due diligence
• Snapchat story and highlight monitoring
• Enriching creator records with audience, bio, media, and related-account data

📥 Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
inputs	Array	✅	List of Snapchat usernames/handles; start with one
apiKey	String	✅	ScrapeCreators API key; masked by Apify and never returned

Example Input

{
    "inputs": ["snapchat"],
    "apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}

Handles may include @. Whitespace is trimmed and duplicate handles (including different casing) are requested only once. Each successful profile is charged at $0.003, so validate one handle before submitting a larger batch.

📤 Output Data

Each processed Snapchat handle produces a comprehensive profile result:

Successful Response

{
    "handle": "zane",
    "timestamp": "2026-08-07T12:00:00.000Z",
    "status": "success",
    "responseTime": 1250,
    "success": true,
    "userProfile": {
        "username": "zane",
        "title": "Zane",
        "subscriberCount": "1535700",
        "bio": "Time to get buck wild baby",
        "profilePictureUrl": "https://cf-st.sc-cdn.net/...",
        "hasStory": false
    },
    "curatedHighlights": [],
    "spotlightHighlights": [],
    "spotlightStoryMetadata": []
}

Only successful profiles enter the billable default dataset. Failed handles are preserved in the unbilled errorResults dataset with success: false, status: "failed", and a customer-facing error. If every handle fails, the Actor marks the run as FAILED after preserving those diagnostics. The RUN_SUMMARY record reports requested, successful, failed, and billable result counts.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Get a ScrapeCreators API key and paste it into the masked API key field
2. Start with one handle such as snapchat to verify access
3. Add more handles only after the first result succeeds
4. View Results: Access comprehensive profile data in your Apify dataset

📊 Key Features

Troubleshooting

• 401 or 403: verify that the ScrapeCreators API key is active and pasted without surrounding whitespace.
• Profile not found: confirm the public Snapchat handle; either handle or @handle is accepted.
• Some handles fail: download successful rows from the default dataset and inspect errorResults for per-handle diagnostics. Only the successful rows are billed by this Actor.
• Large batch: validate one handle first, then scale gradually to keep provider usage and Apify charges predictable.
