Snapchat

Public profiles and Spotlight videos. Every Snapchat action is a Wire action: call POST /v1/wire/task with the action_id and params below, then poll GET /v1/wire/jobs/{id} (or pass a webhook_url). All actions read public data — no login, no cookies, auth_mode: none.

Catalog: snapchat · Actions: 2 · Auth: none · Billing: only successful calls are charged

Credits marked + grow with limit — the exact formula is on each action. See Pricing for what a credit costs on your plan.

Call a Snapchat action

The same call works for every action on this page — swap action_id and params.

curl -X POST https://api.anakin.io/v1/wire/task \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"action_id": "snapchat_profile", "params": {"username": "djkhaled305"}}'

import requests, time

res = requests.post('https://api.anakin.io/v1/wire/task', headers={'X-API-Key': 'your_api_key'},
                    json={"action_id": "snapchat_profile", "params": {"username": "djkhaled305"}})
job_id = res.json()['job_id']

while True:  # poll until the job settles (or pass webhook_url and skip this)
    job = requests.get(f'https://api.anakin.io/v1/wire/jobs/{job_id}', headers={'X-API-Key': 'your_api_key'}).json()
    if job['status'] in ('completed', 'failed'):
        break
    time.sleep(2)
print(job['data']['data'])

const headers = { 'X-API-Key': 'your_api_key', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' };
const res = await fetch('https://api.anakin.io/v1/wire/task', { method: 'POST', headers, body: JSON.stringify({"action_id": "snapchat_profile", "params": {"username": "djkhaled305"}}) });
const { job_id } = await res.json();

let job;
do {  // poll until the job settles (or pass webhook_url and skip this)
  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 2000));
  job = await (await fetch(`https://api.anakin.io/v1/wire/jobs/${job_id}`, { headers })).json();
} while (!['completed', 'failed'].includes(job.status));
console.log(job.data.data);

The job result wraps the action's output: data.status is "ok" or "error", and data.data holds the fields shown under each action below. See the overview for the full envelope.
