N8N Tools Snapchat

Interact with Snapchat API

Actions42

Overview

The node "N8N Tools Snapchat" enables interaction with the Snapchat Ads API, allowing users to manage various Snapchat advertising resources such as ads, campaigns, creatives, audiences, pixels, webhooks, and reports. Specifically, for the Ads resource and the Get Ad operation, this node fetches detailed information about a specific Snapchat ad by its ID within a given ad account.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where marketers or automation workflows need to retrieve up-to-date data on individual ads for reporting, auditing, or further processing. For example, you might use it to pull the current status, targeting, or performance metadata of a particular ad to integrate with dashboards or trigger conditional logic based on ad attributes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Ad Account ID The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account under which the ad exists. Required.
Ad ID The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad to retrieve details for.

Output

  • The output JSON contains the detailed data of the requested Snapchat ad as returned by the Snapchat Ads API.
  • The structure typically includes fields such as ad metadata, status, targeting criteria, creative references, and other relevant ad properties.
  • No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Example output (simplified):

{
  "id": "ad_id_value",
  "name": "Ad Name",
  "status": "ACTIVE",
  "targeting": { /* targeting details */ },
  "creative": { /* creative details */ },
  ...
}

Dependencies

  • Requires an active subscription and a valid API key credential for the external "N8N Tools API" service, which acts as a proxy or validation layer before calling Snapchat's API.
  • Requires OAuth2 credentials configured for Snapchat API access.
  • The node internally uses the Snapchat Ads API endpoint https://adsapi.snapchat.com.
  • Proper configuration of these credentials and API keys in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid subscription or API key error: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential for the external validation service is correct and active.
  • Missing or incorrect Ad Account ID or Ad ID: Ensure that both the Ad Account ID and Ad ID are provided and correctly correspond to existing entities in Snapchat.
  • Unknown operation error: This can occur if the operation parameter is set incorrectly; ensure "Get Ad" is selected when working with the Ads resource.
  • API rate limits or network issues: As with any API integration, transient network errors or rate limiting by Snapchat may cause failures. Implement retry logic or check API usage quotas if needed.
