Overview

This node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage and retrieve data related to Snapchat Pixels. Specifically, the Get Pixel operation fetches detailed information about a specific Snapchat Pixel associated with an ad account.

Use cases for this node include:

  • Retrieving configuration and status details of a Snapchat Pixel to verify its setup.
  • Monitoring pixel attributes for analytics or troubleshooting purposes.
  • Integrating Snapchat Pixel data into automated marketing workflows or reporting dashboards.

For example, a marketer might use this node to programmatically fetch pixel details before launching a campaign to ensure the pixel is active and correctly configured.

Properties

Name Meaning
Ad Account ID The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account to which the pixel belongs. This is required to scope the request.
Pixel ID The unique identifier of the Snapchat Pixel to retrieve information about.

Output

The output is a JSON object containing the details of the requested Snapchat Pixel. This typically includes properties such as pixel name, status, creation date, and other metadata defined by the Snapchat Ads API.

No binary data is returned by this operation.

Example output structure (simplified):

{
  "id": "pixel_id_value",
  "name": "Pixel Name",
  "status": "ACTIVE",
  "created_at": "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "updated_at": "2023-06-01T12:00:00Z",
  "other_pixel_attributes": "..."
}

Dependencies

  • Requires valid credentials for the Snapchat Ads API, including an API key credential and OAuth2 authentication.
  • Requires subscription and API key validation through an external service ("N8N Tools API") that verifies the API key and subscription status before making Snapchat API calls.
  • The node expects the base URL https://adsapi.snapchat.com for Snapchat API requests.
  • Proper configuration of these credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correct and active. Check subscription status with the external validation service.
  • Missing Required Parameters: Ensure that both the Ad Account ID and Pixel ID are provided and correctly formatted.
  • API Rate Limits or Network Issues: Snapchat API may enforce rate limits; if errors occur, consider retrying after some time or checking network connectivity.
  • Unexpected Errors: The node wraps errors from the Snapchat API and the validation service. Review the error message for clues and confirm that all credentials and parameters are set properly.
