This library is not being actively maintained and AFAIK there is no easy way to get it working due to Snapchat updates and the Casper service no longer being public. If anyone is interested in adopting this project or knows a workaround to get this library working again, please feel free to reach out.
This project is a node.js port of the excellent Objective-C SnapchatKit library by Tanner Bennett (ThePantsThief).
It provides an easy-to-use client interface to Snapchat's unofficial API, allowing Javascript developers to script Snapchat!
npm install snapchatThe main entrypoint is the Snapchat class. See the auto-generated documentation for a detailed API reference.
Snapchat defaults to using required signin credentials stored in environment variables:
SNAPCHAT_USERNAMEThe Snapchat username to sign in with.SNAPCHAT_PASSWORDThe password to the Snapchat account to sign in with.SNAPCHAT_GMAIL_EMAILA valid GMail address.SNAPCHAT_GMAIL_PASSWORDThe password for the GMail address.
var Snapchat = require('snapchat')
var client = new Snapchat()
// note the signIn will default to credentials stored in environment variables
client.signIn(function (err, session) {
if (!err) {
console.log('signed in', client.username)
}
})Or with explicit credentials:
var Snapchat = require('snapchat')
var client = new Snapchat()
client.signIn('myusername', 'mypassword', '[email protected]', 'mygmailpassword', function (err, session) {
if (!err) {
console.log('signed in', client.username)
}
})NOTE Only Snapchat accounts created via an Android client should be used with this library. iOS accounts are handled separately by Snapchat, and your account will most likely be flagged / disabled as suspicious if you try to use a Snapchat account created on iOS.
NOTE Any valid gmail address and password may be used; it does not have to be the one the Snapchat user was created with.

- MORE TESTS
- rate limiting (currently test suite is failing with 401 errors because of rate limiting issues)
- check logged status in Request.start response handler
- handle request encoding properly for blobs and non-text requests
- sendEvents inconsistent between

I believe it's 100% legal to use a "private" REST API and that there are no laws explicitly prohibiting the use of "private" REST APIs. However, this does not mean that the makers of these private APIs can't try to sue you under something overly-broad, such as the CFAA. I don't think Snapchat will, personally; in my experience they've only gone after developers for copyright disputes.
