N8N Tools Snapchat

Interact with Snapchat API

Actions42

Overview

The node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage and retrieve data related to Snapchat advertising resources. Specifically, for the Pixels resource with the Get Pixels operation, it fetches a list of pixels associated with a specified Snapchat Ad Account.

This node is useful in scenarios where you want to automate the retrieval of pixel tracking data from Snapchat for analytics, reporting, or further processing within an n8n workflow. For example, marketers can use this node to programmatically get all pixels linked to their ad account to monitor conversion tracking setups or to sync pixel data with other marketing tools.

Properties

Name Meaning
Ad Account ID Snapchat Ad Account ID to specify which ad account's pixels to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The output is a JSON object containing the data returned by the Snapchat API for the pixels associated with the given Ad Account ID. The structure typically includes details about each pixel such as its ID, name, status, creation date, and other metadata relevant to Snapchat pixel tracking.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output (simplified):

{
  "pixels": [
    {
      "id": "pixel_id_1",
      "name": "Homepage Pixel",
      "status": "ACTIVE",
      "created_at": "2023-01-01T12:00:00Z"
    },
    {
      "id": "pixel_id_2",
      "name": "Checkout Pixel",
      "status": "INACTIVE",
      "created_at": "2023-02-15T08:30:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

Dependencies

  • Requires valid credentials for the Snapchat Ads API, including an API key or OAuth2 token configured in n8n.
  • Also requires access to an external validation service ("N8N Tools API") that verifies subscription and API key validity before making Snapchat API calls.
  • The node depends on the SnapchatApi class (imported from bundled dependencies) to handle actual API requests.

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 active. Check the configuration of the API key credential in n8n.
  • HTTP Request Failures: Network issues or incorrect Ad Account IDs may cause request failures. Ensure the Ad Account ID is valid and that the network connection allows access to the Snapchat API endpoints.
  • Unknown Operation Error: This should not occur if the operation is correctly set to "Get Pixels". If it does, confirm the operation parameter is set properly.
  • JSON Parsing Errors: When providing JSON inputs for other operations, ensure the JSON is well-formed. For "Get Pixels" no JSON input is needed beyond the Ad Account ID.
