Scrape Snapchat

Snapchat's public profile and Spotlight pages render through a heavily client-side app shell, so a plain request returns an empty page. Fetch renders the page fully, then returns what's public as data instead of markup.

01What you get

• Public profile info. The account's display name and public subscriber count, when shown.
• Story content. Public Story content, when the account shares one publicly.
• Spotlight video metadata. Caption and view count for public Spotlight videos.
• Avatar reference. The account's Bitmoji or avatar image, when shown on the profile.

02Frequently asked questions

Does this access private stories or messages?

No. Fetch only reads what is already public on the page; private content and DMs stay private.

Does this work on the Snapchat app itself?

No, this covers Snapchat's public web profile pages, not the mobile app.

Does this need a Snapchat API key?

No, Fetch reads the public page directly.
