This page guides you through the process of setting up the Snapchat Marketing source connector.

Prerequisites

For Airbyte Cloud:

• An existing Snapchat Marketing business account

For Airbyte Open Source:

• Client ID
• Client Secret
• Refresh Token

Setup guide

Step 1: Set up Snapchat

1. Set up a Snapchat Business account

For Airbyte Open Source:

2. Activate Access to the Snapchat Marketing API

3. Add the OAuth2 app:

   • Adding the OAuth2 app requires the redirect_url parameter.
     • If you have the API endpoint that will handle next OAuth process, write it to this parameter.
     • If you do not have the API endpoint, simply use a valid URL.Refer to the discussion here for more information: Snapchat Redirect URL - Clarity in documentation please
   • Save the Client ID and Client Secret

4. Obtain a refresh token using OAuth2 authentication workflow.

   • Open the authorize link in a browser. It will look similar to this:

   https://accounts.snapchat.com/login/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI&scope=snapchat-marketing-api&state=wmKkg0TWgppW8PTBZ20sldUwerf-m
   • Login & Authorize via UI
   • Locate the code query parameter in the redirect
   • Exchange the code for an access token and refresh token.

   Your request will appear similar to the following:

      curl -X POST \
      -d "code={one_time_use_code}" \
      -d "client_id={client_id}" \
      -d "client_secret={client_secret}"  \
      -d "grant_type=authorization_code"  \
      -d "redirect_uri=redirect_uri"
      https://accounts.snapchat.com/login/oauth2/access_token`

For more information on authenticating into the Snapchat API, read their documentation here You will receive the API key and refresh token in the response. Use this refresh token for the connector.

Performance considerations

The Snapchat Marketing API limits requests to 1,000 items per page.

Syncing data with an hourly granularity often generates large data volumes and can take longer times to sync. We recommend syncing at a day granularity.
