Which Snapchat content can be resolved?

Public Spotlight clips and public story pages. Both the full snapchat.com address and the t.snapchat.com share link are accepted.

Can I read a private snap?

No. Private snaps and anything behind a login are unreachable and come back as a 403, which costs 0.1 credits.

Do Spotlight links expire?

The post stays as long as its author keeps it up, but the media URL you receive is time-limited. Download it when you resolve it rather than storing the link.
