:ghost: A simple command-line tool to download SnapChat codes.

SnapCode

Why?

I just found a way to download snapcodes with or without the Bitmoji on them and thought it was really cool. Also, since SnapChat does not have an API, I found this to be even cooler because the method I used to get the snapcodes could be used in an unofficial SnapChat API in the future.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/sdushantha/SnapCode.git

Usage

usage: snapcode.py [-h] [-b] [-s SIZE] username

A simple command-line tool to download SnapChat codes.

positional arguments:
  username

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b, --bitmoji         SnapCode with Bitmoji
  -s SIZE, --size SIZE  Size of the SnapCode (pixels)

The -b command lets you choose if you want Bitmoji on the SnapCode.

The file will download to the directory where you ran snapcode.py from.
