Sticker Kit Stickers bring your community’s personality to life through creative self-expression.

We are excited to announce our evolution of Bitmoji Kit. Over the next few weeks, we are introducing Sticker Kit to our partners. Sticker Kit will offer all the functionality of Bitmoji Kit and more. Partners will be able to access thousands of Snap Stickers, Bitmojis, and millions of GIFs all from one location.

Developers can now pick from a library of thousands of assets and millions of GIFs. Partners are excited because Sticker Kit will increase engagement by making an app’s UX more appealing to Snapchatters.

Version 1 features an API that will allow for text searching by keyword and content type. Sticker Kit is built on top of Creative Tools and the Search Infrastructure platform. It works in both authenticated and unauthenticated environments.

Creative Kit for Spotlight Creative Kit is like a share button for Snapchat.

We also are announcing enhancements to Creative Kit, bringing its sharing capabilities into Spotlight. Creative Kit for Spotlight extends the reach of Creative Kit so that Snapchatters and Snap Stars alike can enhance their Spotlight posts with content provided by partner apps.

This enhancement brings Creative Kit’s sharing workflow into Spotlight. Posts can now be enhanced with attributed content from partner apps. Attributed content will be aggregated to App Pages and these App Pages will enable Snapchatters to see how their fellow users interact with partner apps.

Partners are excited because of the potential of Creative Kit for Spotlight to drive new organic downloads, triggered by attributions within the Spotlight posts. In the example below, the App Page will increase interest in the app to encourage users to download the partner app from the app store.
