Snapchat Scraper API - Spotlight, Creators, Transcripts

profile

One public Snapchat profile delivered: username, display name, bio, website, subscriber count, verification badge, category and subcategory, publisher type, address, profile picture and Snapcode. Snapchat exposes two different profile shapes - a personal account carries four fields, a creator or business account sixteen - and both are read correctly, with the fields a personal account genuinely does not have returned as null rather than guessed. A username that does not exist costs nothing. On a monitoring schedule, a profile whose numbers have not moved is a free row.

transcript

Optional. The spoken words of a Spotlight clip, taken from Snapchat's own caption track and returned as clean text with the timing markers stripped. Charged ONLY for clips that actually have a transcript - Snapchat does not caption every clip, and one that has none is free rather than billed for an empty string. It never consumes your row budget, so asking for transcripts cannot cost you clips. Turn it on to make Spotlight searchable by what is said in it rather than only by its caption.

target-check

One Spotlight clip or profile whose page was actually fetched and read but that billed nothing, because you ran with monitorChangesOnly and it had not changed since your last run. Half the price of a changed clip, because you get the answer without the data. Charged once per target per run, never on a target that billed a clip or a profile, and never on a page that was blocked, unparseable or missing - those stay free and return an error row. This is what keeps a monitoring schedule honest: an unchanged target costs one check instead of nothing, and a changed one is billed as a clip or a profile exactly as before.
