## FAQ

### How do I get a Snapchat user's profile with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/snapchat/profile with the user's Snapchat handle (no @ symbol) in the handle parameter. SocialCrawl returns a JSON payload with the display name, Bitmoji avatar URL, subscriber count, bio, and profile URL — all under the unified author schema.

### What fields does GET /v1/snapchat/profile return?

The response includes the handle, display_name, avatar_url (Bitmoji), bio description, follower_count (Snapchat subscribers), and the public profile URL. Every field is normalised into the same author schema used across every SocialCrawl platform, so you can reuse your parsing code.

### Can I get subscriber counts from Snapchat creators?

Yes. The endpoint returns the subscriber count (Snapchat's equivalent of followers) for any public handle. This makes it straightforward to track Snap Star creators, benchmark audiences across platforms, or feed subscriber numbers into a unified creator analytics dashboard.

### Where do I find a Snapchat handle to pass in?

Use the handle from the user's Snapchat profile URL: https://www.snapchat.com/add/{handle}. For example, DJ Khaled's handle is djkhaled305. Pass the handle without the @ symbol and without the snapchat.com/add/ prefix — just the raw username string.

### Do I need a Snap Kit developer account to call this?

No. SocialCrawl does not require Snap Kit, a Snap developer account, or any Snap Inc. app approval. Pass the handle and your SocialCrawl x-api-key — the endpoint returns the public profile directly, no Snapchat login or consent flow required on your users' part.
