Snapchat in Stellar: Available Data & How It Works

🎯 Overview

Snapchat accounts can be added to your portfolio of influencers, and content can be tracked with relevant statistics in your reports.

Two types of content can be tracked:

  • Stories (ephemeral or pinned)

  • Spotlights (public content similar to Reels/TikTok)

Public data is automatically retrieved by Stellar. Private data, visible only to the influencer, must be provided by the creator to be added to your reports in Stellar.

💡 Important: As soon as an influencer’s Snapchat account is added to your Stellar portfolio, their Stories are automatically detected, recorded, and saved. It works similarly to Instagram stories in this regard.
