The data

Snapchat data,
ready to work with.

A public Snapchat profile establishes the account behind a piece of content. The recorded Red Bull response links its handle, short bio and Snapchat URL with dated subscriber, Highlight and Spotlight counts. It reported no active Story for that request, so those counts should not be read as a live Story feed. Open a selected public Spotlight URL for post details and request its comments separately when available. The profile does not reveal impressions, audience demographics or private campaign results. Keeping the source handle and collection date attached to each record helps distinguish a brand account from similar names or fan uploads.

Does a profile response include the current Story?

No. The saved Red Bull profile reported has_story as false. A profile count is not a Story feed, and availability can change.

Can I read comments from every Spotlight post?

Request spotlight-comments for a selected public Spotlight URL. A post can have no returned comments or be unavailable; do not infer a complete discussion from an empty response.

What Snapchat operations can I use?

The catalogue shows 3 currently available operations with their individual prices. Open an endpoint for its accepted inputs, returned fields and limitations.

How much does the Snapchat API cost?

Start with 150 free credits. Paid subscriptions start at $29 per month for 10,000 credits, before applicable tax. Each operation has its own price. Check the endpoint reference for variable charges. Compare plans

How do I authenticate requests?

Use your Monocrawl API key in the x-api-key header. The endpoint reference lists any additional inputs needed for the operation. Authentication guide

What request limits apply?

Limits depend on your Monocrawl plan. The Free account ceiling is 600 requests per minute and 50 simultaneous requests. Endpoint capacity and Free daily protections also apply; these ceilings do not guarantee source throughput. Read the limits guide

What should I know about Snapchat coverage?

Profile counts are dated observations; they do not provide reach, impressions or private audience analytics. An empty or unavailable Spotlight comment response is not evidence that the post has no discussion.

Is Monocrawl affiliated with Snapchat?

Monocrawl is an independent service. Third-party names identify data sources and do not imply a partnership or endorsement.
