N8N Tools Snapchat

Interact with Snapchat API

Actions42

Overview

This node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage various advertising resources such as ads, campaigns, creatives, audiences, pixels, webhooks, and reports. Specifically, for the Creatives resource with the Get Creatives operation, it retrieves a list of creative assets associated with a specified Snapchat Ad Account.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where marketers or advertisers want to automate the retrieval and management of their Snapchat ad creatives within an n8n workflow. For example, you can use this node to fetch all creatives for reporting, auditing, or syncing with other marketing platforms.

Properties

Name Meaning
Ad Account ID Snapchat Ad Account ID (string). This identifies the specific ad account from which creatives will be retrieved. It is required.

Output

The output is a JSON object containing the data returned by the Snapchat API for the requested creatives. Typically, this includes details about each creative asset such as IDs, names, types, status, and metadata relevant to the creative.

The output structure corresponds directly to the Snapchat API's response for listing creatives under the given Ad Account.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output snippet (conceptual):

{
  "creatives": [
    {
      "id": "creative_id_1",
      "name": "Creative Name 1",
      "type": "video",
      "status": "active",
      ...
    },
    {
      "id": "creative_id_2",
      "name": "Creative Name 2",
      "type": "image",
      "status": "paused",
      ...
    }
  ]
}

Dependencies

  • Requires valid credentials for the Snapchat Ads API, including an API key or OAuth2 token configured in n8n.
  • The node also validates subscription and API key via an external service ("N8N Tools API") before making Snapchat API calls.
  • Network access to https://adsapi.snapchat.com is necessary.
  • Proper configuration of the Snapchat Ad Account ID is mandatory.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that your API credentials are correct and have the necessary permissions.
  • Unknown Operation Error: This occurs if an unsupported operation is selected. Ensure the operation is set to "Get Creatives" for this resource.
  • Missing Required Parameters: The Ad Account ID must be provided; otherwise, the request will fail.
  • API Rate Limits or Network Issues: Standard Snapchat API rate limits apply. Network connectivity issues may cause failures.
  • JSON Parsing Errors: When providing JSON input for other operations, ensure the JSON is well-formed.
