# Snapchat: Profile page of an account

`GET /snapchat/api/profile/{username}`

Documentation: https://monsterapi.co/docs/api/snapchat#profile-page-of-an-account

Operation ID: `snapchat_profile_read`

Returns an account’s profile, active story, highlights and metadata, lenses, tagged content, comments and related accounts. An account without a public profile has `profile.type` equal to `userInfo`.

## Authentication

Send your billing API key in the `Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>` header. Your account login is separate.

## Inputs

- `username` (path, required): Account handle: ASCII letters, digits, dot, underscore or hyphen; at most 64 characters, excluding `.` and `..`. Available at `sections[].results[].user.username` in [GET /search](https://monsterapi.co/docs/api/snapchat-discovery#search-page).

## Responses

- 200: The profile page

- 400: Handle outside the accepted format

Refused at the gateway: the request target, path and query string together, is longer than 8,192 bytes; or the headers, the target counted among them, exceed 16,384 bytes or 64 fields

- 401: #/components/responses/GatewayUnauthorized

- 402: #/components/responses/GatewayPaymentRequired

- 403: #/components/responses/GatewayForbidden

- 404: No such account

- 405: `method_not_allowed`: the endpoint answers GET alone, and any other method, HEAD included, is refused

Refused at the gateway: the path exists, but no operation on it takes the method of the request, HEAD included; `Allow` names the methods that do

- 409: #/components/responses/GatewayConflict

- 429: #/components/responses/GatewayTooManyRequests

- 500: Snapchat returned unusable data

- 503: Temporarily unavailable or rate limited; check `code` and any `Retry-After` header

Refused at the gateway: the check could not complete, the account is suspended, or the platform did not answer; each may pass later, and `Retry-After` comes only when the platform did not answer

## Credits

Check the live price in the documentation before sending. Platform 2xx and 4xx responses can use credits, including empty data. Gateway refusals and 5xx responses do not use credits. Each pagination request is a separate call.
