FAQ
Do video URLs expire? Yes. Snapchat CDN URLs contain expiring tokens and are typically valid for several hours to days. Download the video file promptly if you need permanent storage.
Do I need a proxy? No proxy is required for public Spotlight pages in most regions. If you experience blocks, add a residential proxy via the Proxy Configuration input.
What if a URL fails?
Failed URLs produce an error record with the error field set. The actor continues processing remaining URLs without stopping.
What URL formats are supported?
Standard Spotlight URLs, profile-specific Spotlight URLs, and t.snapchat.com short links are all supported.
Can I download private or friends-only Snaps? No. This actor only works with public Spotlight content that is accessible without logging in.
