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:

  1. Activate Access to the Snapchat Marketing API

  2. Add the OAuth2 app:

    • Adding the OAuth2 app requires the redirect_url parameter.
    • Save the Client ID and Client Secret

  3. 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.

Step 2: Set up the source connector in Airbyte​

For Airbyte Cloud:

  1. Log into your Airbyte Cloud account.
  2. In the left navigation bar, click Sources. In the top-right corner, click + new source.
  3. On the source setup page, select Snapchat Marketing from the Source type dropdown and enter a name for this connector.
  4. Click Authenticate your account.
  5. In the authentication window, log in and authorize access to your Snapchat account
  6. (Optional) Choose a Start Date. All data created on or after this date will be synced. If left blank, all records will be synced.
tip

The Start Date is required for the all streams that use start_time as a key (see Supported Streams section below).

  1. (Optional) Choose an End Date. All data created on or before this date will be synced. If left blank, all records will be synced.
  2. (Optional) Choose the Action Report Time, which specifies how conversions are reported. The default is set to conversion, and can be modified to impression.
  3. (Optional) Choose the 'Swip Up Attribution Window', which specifies the length of the attribution window for swipe up actions. The default is 28 days and can be adjusted.
  4. (Optional) Choose the View Attribution Window, which specifies the length of the attribution window for views. The default is 28 days and can be adjusted.
  5. Click 'Set up source'

For Airbyte Open Source:

  1. Open the Airbyte UI.
  2. In the left navigation bar, click Sources. In the top-right corner, click + new source.
  3. On the source setup page, select Snapchat Marketing from the Source type dropdown and enter a name for this 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.
