pysnapstories's Introduction

Notice

Snapchat is constantly changing how their backend returns information (for the worse). The script may stop working at any time and no updates are guaranteed.

PySnapStories

A Python script to download public Snapchat user stories from verified accounts, subjects and Map events.

How to use

Go to https://story.snapchat.com/ and search for Snapchat stories you wish to download.

PySnapStories supports the following input formats:

loren (Username story)
c:LCfi6UdStalK_e-T5_WEK3jtBlY8js6KCOiJu_psBtsyHdrvG1KzpxvL8GG094H6ceU (Subject story)
m:q4_OINadScux6p1c6OgxRwAAEQtp2S0W_3UVaAWXqb9GaAWXqb838AAFRgA/ (Single Map Event story)
p:219c05b1bb1c710f (Map Event story)

You can obtain the above IDs through the Share function in the Snapchat web client: https://map.snapchat.com/

Be aware that with usernames, only officially verified Snapchat accounts are publicly visible and available for download. You will not be able to download any stories from regular accounts.

Folder structure is as following:

pysnapstories.py
└───snapchat
    └───StoryId_StoryTitle
        └───embedded
        └───overlay

For each user or other type of story a new folder will be created with the appropriate name.
Inside this folder the stories will be downloaded with visual overlays removed when possible.
The embedded folder contains the same stories but with the overlays untouched, just as you would see them on Snapchat.
When downloading usernames, an overlay folder will be created containing saved overlays whenever they are detected on Snapchat stories.

pysnapstories's Issues

[Bug] SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

So the script stopped working, looks like the api broke.
Here's my log from the script:

D:\PySnapStories-master>python pysnapstories.py elsiehewitt
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PYSNAPSTORIES (SCRIPT V2.1 - PYTHON V3.7.4) - 04:21:25 AM

Script overwriting stories with similar names

Hi Dirk,
It seems that the script overwrites any stories from a certain user that has the same name, for some reason the stories filenames aren't unique, like if you download a story and try to download another story a week later ( from the same user ), there's a high chance that they would have the same filenames and the script would overwrite the old files.
Also, lets say I'm scraping "sommerray" stories, the script would make a folder by the name "sommerray_NoTitle" , if you create folders inside that folder , the script would delete them also.
I'm not sure on how to reproduce this bug.

Something went wrong: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Any ideas?

[bug] Something went wrong: download_story() got an unexpected keyword argument 'is_overlay'

I started getting this error on multiple users:

The script cannot continue, exiting.
