Overview
This node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API, allowing users to manage various Snapchat advertising resources directly within n8n workflows. Specifically, for the Creatives resource and the Get Creative operation, the node fetches detailed information about a specific creative asset used in Snapchat ad campaigns.
Typical use cases include:
- Retrieving metadata and details of a particular creative to review or audit its settings.
- Automating reporting workflows that require fetching creative details.
- Integrating Snapchat creative data into broader marketing dashboards or systems.
For example, a user might configure this node to get the details of a creative by specifying the Ad Account ID and Creative ID, then use the output to update a database or trigger further processing steps.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ad Account ID | The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account. Required for all operations related to ads, campaigns, creatives, audiences, pixels, webhooks, and reports. |
| Creative ID | The unique identifier of the Snapchat Creative. Required when getting, updating, or deleting a specific creative. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the requested creative's details as returned by the Snapchat Ads API. This typically includes fields such as creative metadata, type, status, associated assets, and other relevant properties defined by Snapchat.
If an error occurs (e.g., invalid IDs or permissions), the output JSON will contain an error field describing the issue.
The node does not output binary data for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires valid credentials for accessing the Snapchat Ads API, including an API key or OAuth2 token configured in n8n.
- Uses an external validation service ("N8N Tools API") to verify subscription and API key validity before making Snapchat API calls.
- The base URL for Snapchat API requests is
https://adsapi.snapchat.com. - The node expects the user to provide the Ad Account ID and Creative ID as input parameters.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API credentials are correctly set up and have the necessary permissions.
- Missing or Incorrect IDs: Ensure that the Ad Account ID and Creative ID are correct and correspond to existing entities in your Snapchat Ads account.
- API Rate Limits or Permissions: Snapchat API may enforce rate limits or require specific permissions; check your Snapchat developer account settings if you encounter authorization errors.
- JSON Parsing Errors: When providing JSON data inputs (not applicable for Get Creative but relevant for create/update operations), ensure the JSON is well-formed.
