From the public Store listing and published build schema, synced 2026-11-12.Input
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mode | string | No | discover | What to collect: the current Discover feed, publisher/show profiles, or individual episode URLs. |
| maxStories | integer | No | 50 | Maximum dataset records this run may push. In Discover mode this counts stories; in the other modes it counts publisher or episode records. Nested episode lists are not counted separately. |
| country | string | No | US | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country context used for the Discover feed and episode requests. Availability is set by Snapchat and some publishers are region-restricted. |
| locale | string | No | en-US | Language and region hint for the Discover feed, for example en-US or de-DE. Snapchat decides which stories match. |
| storyTypes | string | No | all | (mode=discover) Keep every story, only publisher shows, only public user stories, or only publisher stories. |
| publisherUrlsOrIds | array | No | [] | (mode=byPublisher) Publisher or show page URLs (snapchat.com/p/<id>), story.snapchat.com links, or bare businessProfileId UUIDs. One record is produced per publisher, with the latest episodes nested inside. |
| episodeUrls | array | No | [] | (mode=byEpisodeUrl) Episode page URLs of the form snapchat.com/p/<publisherId>/<storyId>. Each URL returns one episode record with its snap list and playable HLS URL. |
| includeEpisodes | boolean | No | false | (mode=byPublisher) Fetch every season's full episode history instead of only the 13-14 episodes embedded in the page. Adds one request per 50 episodes and respects the episode cap. |
| maxEpisodesPerPublisher | integer | No | 100 | (mode=byPublisher with includeEpisodes) Maximum episodes collected across all seasons of one publisher. |
| includeEpisodeMedia | boolean | No | false | (mode=byPublisher) Fetch each episode's snap list and HLS video URL. Adds one request per episode; off by default. |

}Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.
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.
