Frequently Asked Questions

Explore the API reference

Snapchat API and scraping

Which fields does a Snapchat public profile return?

Profile returns public identity, display name, bio, subscriber count, profile images, snapcode, website and account metadata. Its story and highlight collections bring published content together with recent Spotlight metadata and related profiles.

Can I retrieve Snapchat Lens details and preview media?

Yes. Pass a public Lens URL to retrieve its name, creator, tags and preview media. Related Lenses and Spotlight videos provide links and metadata for an augmented-reality effect directory or a creative research board.

What public data can I retrieve with the Snapchat API?

Retrieve public profiles, bios, subscriber counts, stories and highlights. Read Spotlight videos and comments with creator, media and engagement fields, or browse the Spotlight feed. Search public content by keyword, open topic video collections and retrieve Lens previews and related content.

Snapchat: public stories, spotlight videos and lenses

Can I retrieve Snapchat public stories and saved highlights?

Yes. Profile includes the public story, curated highlights and Spotlight highlights attached to a public account, together with their published metadata. Use these collections alongside the creator’s profile details for a content research view.

Can I search Snapchat content and browse Spotlight videos by topic?

Use Search with a query to retrieve public result sections and Spotlight cards. Pass a topic slug to Topic to read its collection and ordered video metadata. Spotlight and Spotlight Feed return creator details, captions, media, publication information and engagement for your content research.

How do I retrieve another page of Snapchat Spotlight comments?

Pass a Spotlight URL to Spotlight Comments to read comment text, author details, publication times, reactions and reply counts. Send the returned cursor with the same URL to request the next page and keep the conversation in one research sheet.

API access and integration

How do I get a ScrapeAtlas API key and authenticate requests?

Create a ScrapeAtlas account and generate an API key in the dashboard. Send the key in the x-api-key request header when calling https://api.scrapeatlas.com. The API playground lets you enter an endpoint’s parameters and inspect its JSON response.

Can I call the scraping API from Python, JavaScript or the CLI?

Yes. Send authenticated HTTP requests from Python, JavaScript or another language that supports HTTP. The endpoint reference includes request examples and response fields. Use the ScrapeAtlas CLI for terminal workflows and pass the returned pagination values when requesting additional result pages.

Can I connect an AI assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server?

Yes. Connect an MCP-compatible assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server to discover and call the public platform tools with your ScrapeAtlas account. The agent reference also gives coding assistants a readable guide to the endpoints and their request schemas.
