What to look for in an API-style option

Prefer an official API when the source offers one that fits. Otherwise look for a maintained scraper with a clear schema, exports and pricing.

  • An official or well-documented API when the source offers one
  • If not: a maintained Apify Actor with clear input/output schema
  • Export formats (JSON/CSV) and webhook/API hooks for automation
  • Transparent usage pricing and run logs

FAQ

Straight answers

Is this an official Snapchat Spotlight API?

No — it is EasyAPI’s Apify Actor that scrapes public pages into structured data. If the platform offers an official API, prefer that for production compliance needs.

How do I call it like an API?

Run the Actor via the Apify API or console, then fetch the dataset. You can schedule runs and push results with webhooks.

Where is the tool landing?

See Snapchat Spotlight Scraper on easyapi.tools and the live Actor on Apify for schema and pricing.

What does Snapchat Spotlight Scraper return?

Public Spotlight video rows: media URLs, views, hashtags and related metadata for the usernames you pass. Confirm schema on Apify.

Spotlight vs Profile Scraper — which one?

Spotlight extracts public Spotlight clips and engagement fields. Profile extracts public bio, stats and profile signals. Use Spotlight for content trends; Profile for account-level research.
