| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mode | string | No | searchPlaces | Choose what to scrape: search Snap Map places by keyword, look up specific place URLs or IDs, or browse US cities and categories. |
| keywords | array | No | [] | Place names, landmarks, venues or addresses to search on Snap Map. Used in Search places mode. Examples: Times Square, Eiffel Tower, Tokyo Station. |
| placeUrls | array | No | [] | Snapchat place page URLs, /place/ paths, or bare place UUIDs. Used in Get details mode. Example: https://www.snapchat.com/place/times-square/c8b4f0ee-9992-11e8-88c9-673ed985ff70. |
| cityUrls | array | No | [] | US city names, Snapchat local URLs, or local paths for Browse mode. Examples: new-york, chicago, https://www.snapchat.com/local/united-states/california/los-angeles. |
| categories | array | No | [] | Optional category slugs for Browse mode, such as bars, restaurants, coffee-shops, historic-landmarks or parks. Leave empty to use the city hub's six featured categories. |
| resultTypes | array | No | ["places"] | Which Explore result groups to return in Search places mode. Places is the Snap Map place search; the other groups are the public entities Snapchat shows for the same keyword. |
| outputType | string | No | placeRecords | Place records keep one row per place with live snaps nested. Live snap records flatten every live snap into its own row with the place's coordinates, which is easier for maps and time-series analysis. |

| maxPlaces | integer | No | 100 | Maximum places to process in Get details mode. |

Show the other 11 settings
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| maxSnapsPerPlace | integer | No | 10 | Maximum live snaps to keep per place. Snapchat's public page exposes a sample of 2-36 current snaps per place. |
| includeSnapData | boolean | No | true | Add the public snap sample for each place with media URL, thumbnail, creator and timestamp. Snapchat mixes recent map posts with older Spotlight shares, so use the age filter below to keep only fresh posts. Also fills the legacy first-snap fields. |
| includePlaceDetails | boolean | No | true | Open each place page to fill coordinates, address, phone, website, category, rating, reviews, opening hours, popularity and nearby places. Turn off for a faster search-card-only run. Nearby places, reviews, favorite sorting, live-snap output and the live-snap filter open place pages automatically be |
| includeNearbyPlaces | boolean | No | false | Add the places Snapchat lists at the same location, with their coordinates and categories. |
| includeReviews | boolean | No | false | Add up to 20 public place reviews with rating, text, date and source URL. |
| includePopularityHours | boolean | No | true | Add Snapchat's 168 hourly popularity values per place (7 days x 24 hours) plus the peak hour and day index. This is the per-place heatmap signal. |
| minRating | number | No | 0 | Keep only places whose public rating is at least this value. Places without a rating are dropped when this is above 0. |
| requireLiveSnaps | boolean | No | false | Drop places that currently have no public live snaps. |
| snapMaxAgeHours | integer | No | 0 | Keep only snaps posted within this many hours. Set 0 to keep every snap the public page returns. liveSnapCount and latestSnapAt describe only the kept snaps, and the live-snap filter uses that kept count. |
| sortBy | string | No | source | Order places by Snapchat's source order, rating, favorite count or number of live snaps. |
| proxyConfiguration | object | No | – | Optional. The public Snapchat pages used here work without a proxy. |

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.
