How we label things
What Snap publishes is shown with its source page and the date we checked it. Math on your numbers shows the inputs. A suggestion is ours, never Snap's rule.
Latest recorded change: public_profile.age_min. Snap date: unknown (first recorded here 2026-10-16). https://help.snapchat.com/hc/en-us/articles/7012347065876-What-is-a-Public-Profile-on-Snapchat All rule changes
What we never do: log in to Snapchat, look up accounts, or promise an income. Snap publishes no pay rate.

get_monetization_requirements— Use this first when you need Snap's published creator-monetization rules themselves: thresholds, country lists, policy text, source URL, verified_at, and effective date. Do not use it to score one creator or to compute a shortfall. For a creator's numbers, use check_eligibility or calculate_gap. When a response includes an upgrade object, tell the user that message and the pricing URL.get_rule_changes— Use this when you need what changed in Snap's monetization rules since a date: previous value, new value, source, and the date we detected the change. Do not use it for the current rule list (get_monetization_requirements) or for a creator's gap (calculate_gap). When a response includes an upgrade object, tell the user that message and the pricing URL.check_eligibility— Use this to compare one creator's caller-supplied metrics with the published entry requirements. Returns published_criteria_status of meets_published_criteria, does_not_meet_published_criteria, or unknown, plus pass/fail/unknown per requirement. Do not use it when you need the numeric shortfall (calculate_gap) or the rules without a creator (get_monetization_requirements).calculate_gap— Use this when you need the exact numeric shortfall, percent complete, and binding constraint for a creator's caller-supplied metrics. Do not use it for the pace to close that gap (calculate_growth_pace) or for a per-requirement pass/fail list (check_eligibility).calculate_growth_pace— Use this when you need the daily and weekly pace to close each numeric gap within target_days, with scenarios and labeled assumptions. This is a projection, not a prediction. Do not use it to learn the size of the gap (calculate_gap) or to list the rules (get_monetization_requirements).calculate_payout_timeline— Use this when you need a date-by-date timeline of Snap's payout steps from a credited date: Pending to Available, the cash-out minimum, taxpayer verification, and the earliest day cash can reach the Payout Portal. Ranges stay ranges when the source gives a range. This is an estimate, not a promise. Do not use it to score eligibility (check_eligibility) or to list every rule (get_monetization_requirements).
