N8N Tools Snapchat

Interact with Snapchat API

Overview

This node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage and retrieve information about Snapchat advertising entities. Specifically, for the Ads resource and the Get Ad operation, it fetches detailed information about a single Snapchat ad given its Ad Account ID and Ad ID.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Retrieving detailed data about a specific Snapchat ad for reporting or analysis.
  • Integrating Snapchat ad data into automated workflows for marketing dashboards.
  • Validating ad configurations or statuses programmatically within an automation pipeline.

For example, a marketing team could use this node to automatically pull the latest details of a particular ad after a campaign update, feeding that data into a CRM or analytics tool.

Properties

Name Meaning
Ad Account ID The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account under which the ad exists. This is required to specify the account context.
Ad ID The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad to retrieve.

Output

The output is a JSON object containing the detailed information of the requested Snapchat ad as returned by the Snapchat Ads API. This typically includes fields such as ad name, status, targeting criteria, creative details, and performance metrics depending on the API response.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output structure (simplified):

{
  "id": "ad_id_value",
  "name": "Ad Name",
  "status": "ACTIVE",
  "creative": { /* creative details */ },
  "targeting": { /* targeting info */ },
  "metrics": { /* performance stats if included */ }
}

Dependencies

  • Requires valid credentials for the Snapchat Ads API, including an API key or OAuth2 token configured in n8n.
  • Also requires a subscription and API key for the intermediary "N8N Tools API" service used for request validation.
  • The node uses the base URL https://adsapi.snapchat.com for Snapchat API requests.
  • Proper configuration of these credentials and permissions is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid subscription or API key error: If you receive errors indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that your N8N Tools API credentials are correct and active.
  • Missing or incorrect Ad Account ID or Ad ID: Ensure both IDs are provided and valid; missing or wrong IDs will cause the API call to fail.
  • Permission issues: Make sure the Snapchat API credentials have sufficient permissions to access the specified ad.
  • Network or API downtime: Temporary network issues or Snapchat API outages can cause failures; retry later or check Snapchat's status page.
  • JSON parsing errors: When providing JSON input for other operations, ensure the JSON is well-formed. For this operation, no JSON input is required beyond IDs.
