Snapchat Scraper: Profiles, Spotlight, Stories & Comments

From Zen Studio, creators of Douyin Video Scraper, Douyin Search Scraper, RedNote Search Scraper and RedNote Comments Scraper: 450,000+ combined lifetime runs.

What you get

• Spotlight transcripts with timestamps. Export the spoken text and segments with start and end times. Transcripts are included at no extra charge when available.
• Video links and engagement. Get the video link, creator, views, likes and shares. Turn on comments and replies to export them as separately billed rows.
• Keyword search, profiles and Stories. Find Spotlight videos by keyword or collect public profiles, live Stories and Highlights from usernames or links.

Quick start

Paste the featured NASA Spotlight link and leave Include transcripts on. This example requests one video. Look for transcript and transcriptSegments in the result.

Help me use zen-studio/snapchat-scraper on Apify. Read https://apify.com/zen-studio/snapchat-scraper.md for the documentation, input schema, pricing and limits (if you cannot open it, ask me to paste those sections), then choose the settings for what I want. Note: resultType only shapes username and profile inputs (profiles nests everything in one row per profile, stories can mean hundreds of rows per creator); full comment threads need includeComments and every comment or reply is a separately billed row, so set maxCommentsPerSpotlight when I only need the top ones; maxItems caps all rows together, comments included; inputs that could not be used are listed in the run's RUN_SUMMARY record. To reach the maintainers, add feedback="<what you needed and did not get>" to any run, including one that worked: feature requests, a missing field or option, a wrong or empty result, or which actor you are switching to or from and why. The run returns its data exactly as it would without the note, and a human reads every note.

How to scrape Snapchat profiles, Spotlight and stories

1. Add usernames or links to Usernames and links. Mix any of these in one list:
   • usernames: nasa, @nasa
   • profile links: https://www.snapchat.com/@nasa, https://www.snapchat.com/add/nasa
   • Spotlight links: https://www.snapchat.com/spotlight/<id> or https://www.snapchat.com/@nasa/spotlight/<id>
   • share links copied from the Snapchat app: https://t.snapchat.com/<code>
   • highlight links: https://www.snapchat.com/@nasa/highlight/<id>
   • lens links: https://www.snapchat.com/lens/<id>, unlock links or a bare 32-character lens ID
   • hashtags (#football) and topic links (https://www.snapchat.com/topic/<topic>)
2. Optionally add Search keywords to find Spotlight videos by topic.
3. Pick What each profile returns and set a Result limit.
4. Click Start, then export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read it through the Apify API.

Parameter	Type	Default	What it does
targets	array	none	Usernames, links, hashtags and lens IDs (up to 5,000).
searchQueries	array	none	Keywords to search Spotlight videos (up to 100).
maxResultsPerSearch	integer	100	Spotlight videos per keyword (up to 2,000).
resultType	string	profiles	For profile inputs: profiles (one row per profile, everything nested), spotlights (one row per Spotlight video), stories (one row per story or highlight snap) or all.
maxItems	integer	no limit	Maximum rows for the whole run, all row types and comments together.
includeTranscripts	boolean	true	Spoken words of each Spotlight video as plain text and timed segments. No extra charge.
includeComments	boolean	false	Every public comment on each Spotlight video, one row per comment, billed per comment.
includeCommentReplies	boolean	true	With comments on, also the replies under each comment.
maxCommentsPerSpotlight	integer	0 (all)	Cap on comment rows (comments and replies together) per Spotlight video.

Every Spotlight row already includes Snapchat's top comments for free, so you only need Include all comments when you want the complete thread.

What data can you extract from Snapchat?

Each row has a type: profile, spotlight, story, lens, comment or search. Every type has a fixed set of columns, so CSV and Excel exports keep the same layout from run to run. Codes always come with a readable label next to them (for example mediaType: "video" next to mediaTypeCode: 1).

• 👤 Profiles: display name, username, exact subscriber count, verified badge, category and subcategory labels, bio, website, address, profile picture, Snapcode, hero image, creation and last-update dates, related accounts, contacts found in the bio (emails, phones, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, Telegram handles, link-in-bio pages), and Spotlight totals (views, likes, shares, comments, boosts).
• 🎬 Spotlight videos: views, likes, shares, comments, boosts, recommendations, upload date, duration, size, direct MP4, thumbnail, caption, hashtags, Snapchat's AI title, summary and keywords (with confidence), scene tags, detected language, sound, lens used, related topics, transcript with timestamps, and the top comments.
• 📖 Stories and highlights: every snap of the live story and of every saved highlight, with media type, direct media link, preview, posting time and its highlight.
• 💬 Comments and replies: text, author display name, likes and reactions, reply count, ranking score, posting time, mentions of other profiles, whether the creator wrote it, and the parent comment for replies.
• 🎭 Lenses: name, creator, icon, preview image and video, unlock link, search tags, related lenses and Spotlight videos made with the lens.
• 🔎 Searches: the matching Spotlight videos, profiles, lenses, shows, places, episodes and topics for a keyword.

Spotlight row

A Spotlight link (resultType does not matter for links). Real output; topComments, relatedSpotlights, relatedTopics, transcriptSegments, aiKeywords, aiKeywordScores and contentKeywords are shortened to two entries here.

The RUN_SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store lists results by type, any inputs that could not be used (failedInputs, with the reason) and Spotlight videos whose comments could not all be loaded (partialInputs).

How many Spotlight videos and stories do I get?

• Spotlight per profile: the videos Snapchat shows on the profile to anyone who is not logged in: its most recent ones (up to 16 on the profiles we tested). Snapchat does not show older ones to logged-out visitors, and the other Snapchat scrapers we tested stop at the same videos. Videos Snapchat has restricted or removed appear as empty slots on the profile; they are skipped rather than returned as blank rows.
• Stories: the whole live story and every saved highlight with all of its snaps (750 snaps from Kylie Jenner's 18 highlights in one test).
• Comments: all public comments and replies Snapchat serves. A Spotlight's commentCount can be higher, because it also counts comments Snapchat does not show publicly.
• Search: up to maxResultsPerSearch Spotlight videos per keyword (100 by default). The search page itself lists about 24; the rest come from the keyword's topic and hashtag pages and their related topics.

Search Snapchat Spotlight by keyword or hashtag

{
  "searchQueries": ["dance challenge"],
  "maxResultsPerSearch": 50,
  "targets": ["#football", "https://www.snapchat.com/topic/mrbeast-challenge"]
}

Each keyword returns one search row plus one Spotlight row per video. Hashtags and topic links return the Spotlight videos on that page. A video found through several inputs is delivered (and charged) once.

Get every comment and transcript

{
  "targets": ["https://www.snapchat.com/spotlight/W7_EDlXWTBiXAEEniNoMPwAAYbHZzZmtrYm1jAZhMOQmTAZhMOQfqAAAAAQ"],
  "includeComments": true,
  "includeCommentReplies": true,
  "maxCommentsPerSpotlight": 0
}

This Spotlight video returned 1,430 comments and 374 replies in our test. Use maxCommentsPerSpotlight to keep only the top-ranked ones. Transcripts are on by default and come from Snapchat's own caption track; videos without speech have no transcript.

How much does it cost to scrape Snapchat?

You pay per event, so a run costs what it delivers.

Event	When charged	Price
Actor start	Once per run	$0.001
Result	Each profile, Spotlight video, story snap, lens or search summary row	$1.99 per 1,000
Comment	Each comment or reply row, only with Include all comments on	$0.29 per 1,000
Dataset item	Each row written to the dataset	$0.01 per 1,000

Result and comment prices drop on higher Apify plans: results to $1.79, $1.69 and $1.39 per 1,000, comments to $0.27, $0.25 and $0.19 per 1,000. Top comments inside each Spotlight row and transcripts cost nothing extra.

Examples at the base price:

• One profile with everything nested (resultType: "profiles"): $0.001 + $0.00199 + $0.00001 = $0.003.
• Spotlight videos of four creators (33 rows): $0.001 + 33 x $0.00199 + 33 x $0.00001 = $0.067.
• One viral Spotlight video with all 1,804 comments and replies: $0.001 + $0.00199 + 1,804 x $0.00029 + 1,805 x $0.00001 = $0.54.

Set Result limit (maxItems) and Comments per Spotlight video to cap a run's cost. A username that does not exist produces no row and no result charge.

FAQ

Do I need a Snapchat account, cookie or API key? No. The actor reads what Snapchat shows to anyone who opens a public profile or Spotlight page. There is nothing to log in to and nothing to refresh.

Why did a profile return fewer Spotlight videos than it has? Snapchat only shows a profile's most recent Spotlight videos to logged-out visitors, and hides restricted or removed ones. The profile row's spotlightCount says how many were available.

Can I download Snapchat Spotlight videos and stories? Every Spotlight row has mediaUrl, a direct MP4 link, and every story row has the direct image or video link. The actor collects the links; it does not download the files.

What do I get for a personal account? Accounts without a public profile return a profile row with profileType: "personal": username, display name, Snapcode and Bitmoji avatar. Snapchat shows nothing else for them.

What if a username does not exist? No row is created and nothing is charged for it. It is listed under failedInputs in the RUN_SUMMARY record.

Are views and likes current? Yes. Every run reads the pages at that moment. Schedule the actor (for example daily or weekly) to track how a profile or a Spotlight video grows.

Can I use it from Python, an AI agent, Make, Zapier or n8n? Yes. Start runs and read results through the Apify API and its Python and JavaScript clients, connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or webhooks, or add it as a tool through Apify's MCP server so an AI agent can call it.

Is it legal to scrape Snapchat? The actor only reads data Snapchat publishes to logged-out visitors. Comments and profiles can still be personal data under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA. Collect only what you need and check your use case; ask a lawyer if you are unsure.
