What is Snapchat Robots?

Snapchat Robots is a web crawler operated by Snapchat, the popular multimedia messaging application. When users share links in chats or stories, Snapchat Robots visits the referenced web pages to retrieve metadata, such as titles, descriptions, and preview images. This enables Snapchat to generate link previews, enhancing the user experience by providing context and visual summaries of shared content. The crawler typically identifies itself with the user agent 'snapchat-robots' and respects standard web crawling protocols, such as robots.txt, to determine which pages it is permitted to access. Its activity is generally limited to fetching only the information necessary for link previews and does not involve large-scale indexing or data collection beyond this scope.
