How to Scrape Snapchat Spotlight Comments for Social Research

说明与用途

无需登录或浏览器自动化的自动化脚本，用于从 Snapchat Spotlight 收集评论，快速获取结构化的受众反应数据。

问题

Collecting public comment data from Snapchat Spotlight is difficult because comments are embedded in the mobile app and lack a public API, hindering competitive analysis, influencer auditing, and sentiment research.

结果

The scraper decodes base64‑encoded JSON embedded in Spotlight pages, retrieving comment text, user info, reactions, ranking scores, and timestamps without browser automation or authentication. It outputs each comment as a structured record and handles errors gracefully.

工作流

• 1. Choose scraping mode: byUsername or bySpotlightUrl
• 2. Provide target inputs: usernames array or spotlightUrls array
• 3. Set maxCommentsPerSnap (default 100, up to 1000)
• 4. Optionally configure proxyConfiguration
• 5. Run the Apify actor
• 6. Export dataset as JSON/CSV/Excel or via API/webhooks

证据

The scraper decodes base64‑encoded JSON directly from public page HTML
