| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mode | string | Yes | home | Browse the public lens charts, fetch specific lenses, or search the Explore lens tab. |
| category | string | No | for_you | (mode=home) Which public Snapchat lens chart to page through. For You, Trending and Face are the deepest charts; World, Music and Live are shorter. |
| lensUrlsOrIds | array | No | – | (mode=detail) Lens page URLs (snapchat.com/lens/{uuid}), unlock URLs with a uuid= parameter, or bare 32-character UUIDs. |
| keywords | array | No | – | (mode=search) Keywords, brands or creator names to search on the public Snapchat Explore lens tab. Snapchat returns at most 24 lenses per keyword. |
| includeMoreLenses | boolean | No | true | (mode=detail) Include the related lenses Snapchat shows beside the lens. Up to 12 are returned; the lens itself is excluded when Snapchat includes it. |
| includeSpotlightsUsingLens | boolean | No | true | (mode=detail) Include Spotlight videos that use this lens, with thumbnails, media URLs, creator details, engagement counts and AI-generated descriptions when public. |
| maxItems | integer | No | 100 | Global cap on saved records. Home mode pages through the selected chart until this cap or the end of the chart; the other modes stop when their inputs are exhausted. |
| proxyConfiguration | object | No | – | Optional proxy override. Snapchat's public lens pages work without a proxy; leave this empty unless you hit rate limiting. |

What a run costs
The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.
| Apify plan | Per 1,000 | 10,000 results | 100,000 results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free plan | $0.99 | $9.90 | $99 |
| Starter plan | $0.82 | $8.20 | $82 |
| Scale plan | $0.66 | $6.60 | $66 |
| Business plan | $0.49 | $4.90 | $49 |
- Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
- The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
- Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
- Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.
