What it does
Given a list of Snapchat Spotlight URLs (e.g. https://www.snapchat.com/@username/spotlight/<ID>), this actor fetches each page and extracts:
- Direct video URL — a signed CDN link to the MP4/video file on Snapchat's content delivery network (
cf-st.sc-cdn.net) - Thumbnail URL — the preview image for the video
- Creator info — username, display name, and profile URL
- Engagement stats — view count, like (boost) count, comment count, share count
- Video metadata — duration, upload date, embedded caption text
- Hashtags — comma-separated list of hashtags associated with the video
