Snapchat Hashtag Scraper

Scrape Snapchat Spotlight videos by hashtag. Provide one or more hashtag keywords and the actor returns video metadata, engagement stats, creator info, and video URLs from public Spotlight feeds — no account required.

What It Does

For each hashtag you provide, the actor:

1. Navigates to snapchat.com/spotlight/hashtag/<tag> and scrolls to load videos from the feed
2. Visits each video page and extracts metadata from server-side-rendered Open Graph tags
3. Saves a structured record per video to the dataset

All data is extracted from public, unauthenticated Snapchat pages.

Input

Field	Type	Description
hashtags	Array of strings	Hashtags to scrape (without the # symbol). Example: ["food", "travel"]
maxItems	Integer	Maximum number of videos to return per hashtag

Output

Each record contains:

Field	Description
video_id	Unique Snapchat Spotlight video ID
video_url	Full URL to the video page
title	Video title / caption
creator_username	Creator's @username
creator_display_name	Creator's display name
creator_url	URL to the creator's Snapchat profile
likes_count	Number of likes

Notes

• Snapchat Spotlight content is fully public and does not require authentication
• Engagement counts are extracted from Open Graph meta tags (server-side rendered)
• The actor uses a real browser (Playwright) to handle JavaScript-rendered content and infinite scroll
• views_count is null in the current version (not exposed in Open Graph tags)
