At the moment there's no way to retrieve someone's public Snippets via the API. There's a way to list Project snippets via https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/project_snippets.html#list-snippets, but there's no equivalent way for user snippets. Could you please implement it?

The best approach I found is to query https://gitlab.com/users/jimen0/snippets.json where you can replace jimen0 with any username. However this results in a crazy escaped html blob which is quite hard to parse for something as simple as this snippet: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2422399

Thank you!
