1 credit per request
TL;DR
Snapchat profile — unwrapped highlight ids, mediaType image/video, category labels, Spotlight boosts (1 credit). The Snapchat User Profile API (Snapchat) is a single authenticated
GET request to /v1/snapchat/user-profile that responds with clean JSON and costs 1 credit. Pass cache=true for a free 24h cache hit; default is always fresh. Start with 100 free credits — no credit card.What is the Snapchat User Profile API?
Pass a Snapchat username or profile URL and get the public profile as clean JSON — not Snapchat's protobuf wrappers. Canonical card: username, displayName, bio, avatar, banner (square hero), url, followers, verified (from badge), human-readable category (public-profile-category-v3-business-group → Business Group), absolute website URL, snapcode, createdAt (+ creationTimestampMs for the same instant). Identical-value aliases (handle/subscriberCount/profilePictureUrl/squareHeroImageUrl) are not emitted. highlights[] are curated Story albums; spotlightHighlights[] are Spotlight posts — different collections. Highlight ids/titles unwrap to plain strings (never Python dict repr). Each snap has mediaType image|video from snapMediaType 0|1, plus embeddedTextCaption / contextCards / hashtags / lensMetadata when Snapchat exposes them. story.snapCount always equals story.snapList length. Spotlight rows add engagement{views,shares,comments,boosts,recommends}. relatedAccounts[] use the same avatar/url keys as the top-level card. Flat 1 credit.
What you get
- Unwrapped highlightId / storyTitle (no protobuf {value} leaks)
- mediaType image|video on every snap (snapMediaType 0 and 1)
- Canonical username/followers/avatar/banner (no alias twins)
- Spotlight boosts/recommends + relatedAccounts with avatar/url
