  Client-side and embeddable surfaces Snap ships for the browser and for host applications, as
  distinct from its HTTP APIs and server SDKs. Two families: Snapchat for Web Social Plugins — a
  loader-script embed system for Lenses, Spotlight videos, Public Stories and Public Profiles, plus
  a Share Sheet — and Camera Kit, which renders live Snap AR lenses inside a third-party app's own
  camera surface on Web, iOS, Android, React Native and Unity.

  loader:
    script: https://www.snapchat.com/embed.js
    attribute: async
    note: >-
      Unpinned. The loader URL carries no version, so a site cannot tell which build it is running
      and Snap can change the rendered embed under it at any time.

  docs: https://developers.snap.com/api/snapchat-for-web/social-plugins/share-link-to-snapchat
