Snapchat
Read a public Snapchat account's display name, Bitmoji avatar, subscriber count, and bio, plus Spotlight comments
Two public reads on Snapchat: the account card, and the comment thread on a Spotlight snap you already hold a URL for. Both are 1 credit.
Base URL: /v1/snapchat/...
Snapchat publishes no public feed of posts or stories, so there is no
snapchat/post to crawl. The account card and Spotlight comments are the
whole surface.
Quickstart
1. Fetch a profile
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/snapchat/profile?handle=djkhaled305" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"2. Fetch their content
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/snapchat/spotlight/comments?url=https://www.snapchat.com/@lilah4823/spotlight/W7_EDlXWTBiXAEEniNoMPwAAYY2pvZnd0ZXVmAZ8fgG8pAZ8ff-_IAAAAAQ" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"3. Read computed fields
When an endpoint supports a computed field and the required source inputs are present, the unified response includes that optional field. Depending on the endpoint, optional fields can include engagement_rate, language, content_category, and estimated_reach. See Computed fields for formulas, clamping rules, and null semantics.
Accounts and Spotlight
| Endpoint | Credits | What it returns | Key parameters |
|---|---|---|---|
GET /v1/snapchat/profile | 1 | Display name, Bitmoji avatar URL, subscriber count, and bio | handle |
GET /v1/snapchat/spotlight/comments | 1 | The comment thread on one Spotlight snap | url, cursor |
profile is the identity lookup: confirm an account exists and read its subscriber count. That makes it a useful leg in handle vetting rather than a content source. If you are checking a name across several networks, POST /v1/prism/profiles takes up to 50 platform and handle pairs in one call, and Snapchat is one of its supported platforms, which beats calling each platform's profile endpoint in a loop.
spotlight/comments is the content read. Pass a Spotlight URL and page with cursor.
All endpoints
2 endpoints available.
| Endpoint | Path | Credit Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Get Snapchat user profile | /v1/snapchat/profile | standard (1cr) |
| List comments on a Snapchat Spotlight | /v1/snapchat/spotlight/comments | standard (1cr) |
Platform notes
There is no Spotlight detail endpoint. The upstream returns an empty body for the snap itself, so only its comments are readable.
The handle is the Snapchat username, without an @.
A handle with no public account returns 404 and is refunded automatically.
