Overview
The node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage and retrieve data related to Snapchat Pixels, specifically supporting the "Get Pixel Events" operation. This operation fetches events tracked by a specified Snapchat Pixel within an ad account.
This node is beneficial for marketers and advertisers who want to programmatically access pixel event data to analyze user interactions on their websites or apps that are tracked via Snapchat Pixels. For example, you can use it to pull conversion events or custom events triggered by users, enabling deeper insights into campaign performance or audience behavior.
Practical examples:
- Retrieve all events recorded by a specific Snapchat Pixel to monitor conversions.
- Automate reporting workflows by fetching pixel event data regularly.
- Integrate pixel event data with other marketing tools or dashboards.

jsonoutput contains an array or object with details about each pixel event, such as event type, timestamp, and any associated metadata provided by Snapchat. - There is no binary data output in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active subscription and valid API key credential for the external service called "N8N Tools API" which acts as a proxy or validation layer before calling Snapchat's API.
- Requires OAuth2 credentials configured for Snapchat API access.
- The node uses the base URL
https://adsapi.snapchat.comfor Snapchat API requests. - Proper configuration of these credentials in n8n 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 API key credential for the external validation service is correct and active.
- Authentication failures: Ensure that the Snapchat OAuth2 credentials are properly set up and have the required permissions.
- Missing or incorrect IDs: Make sure the Ad Account ID and Pixel ID are correctly provided; missing or wrong IDs will cause the API call to fail.
- Unknown operation error: This node supports only predefined operations; ensure "Get Pixel Events" is selected when working with the Pixels resource.
- Network or API errors: Check network connectivity and Snapchat API status if requests fail unexpectedly.
