Python (apify-client)

Get your API token in Apify Console under Settings, then Integrations. The Actor id is v0iddo/snapchat-scraper.

from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN") run_input = {'handles': ['kyliejenner', 'daviddobrik'], 'includeHighlights': True, 'maxItems': 20} run = client.actor("v0iddo/snapchat-scraper").call(run_input=run_input) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item)

cURL 

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/v0iddo~snapchat-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"handles": ["kyliejenner", "daviddobrik"], "includeHighlights": true, "maxItems": 20}'

Good to know

  • Only public Snapchat creator profiles are scraped; private accounts and unknown handles are skipped with a log message.
  • Subscriber counts and view counts are as displayed on the public profile page and may be rounded by Snapchat.
