Snapchat User Profile API

Snapchat profile — stable identity card, millisecond timestamps, mediaType image/video (1 credit).

Pass a Snapchat username or profile URL and get the public profile as clean JSON — not Snapchat's protobuf wrappers. This is an identity card: highlights / spotlightHighlights / relatedAccounts are always keyed ([] when we know there are none — hasCuratedHighlights: false is [], not a missing key). Canonical card: username, displayName, bio, avatar, banner (square hero), url, followers, verified (from badge), human-readable category (public-profile-category-v3-business-group → Business Group), absolute website URL, snapcode. createdAt / updatedAt / publishedAt are ISO-8601 milliseconds; unix twins live under raw (creationTimestampMs / lastUpdateTimestampMs / timestampInSec). Identical-value aliases (handle/subscriberCount/profilePictureUrl/squareHeroImageUrl/firstSnapUrl/firstSnapType) are not emitted — read snapList[0] for the first snap. Regular (non-creator) accounts are supported too — Snapchat's web page only exposes username, displayName, snapcode and bitmoji avatar for them (no followers/bio/highlights exist on the web), so their card is legitimately slim. An unresolvable handle is 404 at 0 credits with username and url echoed on the error — and when Snapchat's own site answers 404 (the username has no public web profile; the account may still exist in-app), we return that verdict immediately instead of burning seconds re-checking — never a 200 with verified: false about an account that does not exist. highlights[] are curated Story albums; spotlightHighlights[] are Spotlight posts — different collections. Highlight ids/titles unwrap to plain strings (never Python dict repr). Each snap has mediaType image|video; the raw Snapchat enum is raw.snapMediaType. story.snapCount always equals story.snapList length. Spotlight rows add engagement{views,shares,comments,boosts,recommends}. relatedAccounts[] use the same avatar/url/verified keys as the top-level card. . mediaUrlsExpireAt is null — sc-cdn.net mo= is a content timestamp (matches publishedAt), not a CDN expiry. Flat 1 credit.
