Snapchat Marketing

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

Prerequisites

For Airbyte Cloud:

• A Snapchat Marketing account with permission to access data from accounts you want to sync

For Airbyte Open Source:

• client_id
• client_secret
• refresh_token
• start_date

Setup guide

Step 1: Set up Snapchat

1. Set up 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 not - just use some valid url. Here's the discussion about it: Snapchat Redirect URL - Clarity in documentation please
   • save Client ID and Client Secret
4. Get refresh token using OAuth2 authentication workflow:
   • Open the authorize link in a browser: https://accounts.snapchat.com/login/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id={client_id}&redirect_uri={redirect_uri}&scope=snapchat-marketing-api&state=wmKkg0TWgppW8PTBZ20sldUmF7hwvU
   • Login & Authorize via UI
   • Locate "code" query parameter in the redirect
   • Exchange code for access token + refresh token

       ```text
       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
       ```
     You will receive the API key and refresh token in response. Use this refresh token in the connector specifications.
