# Snapchat

Access the Snapchat Marketing API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage organizations, ad accounts, campaigns, ad squads, ads, creatives, media, and audiences.

## Quick Start

```bash
# List your organizations
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/snapchat/v1/me/organizations')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

## Base URL

```
https://gateway.maton.ai/snapchat/{api-path}
```

The Snapchat Marketing API uses the path pattern:
```
https://gateway.maton.ai/snapchat/v1/{resource}
```

## Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

```
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
```

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

```bash
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
```

### Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key

## Connection Management

Manage your Snapchat OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

### List Connections

```bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=snapchat&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Create Connection

```bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'snapchat'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Get Connection

```bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "f5d5458b-fb65-458c-9e51-08844662dd39",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-14T00:00:00.000000Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-14T00:00:00.000000Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "snapchat",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}
```

Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

### Delete Connection

```bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Snapchat connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

```bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/snapchat/v1/me/organizations')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'f5d5458b-fb65-458c-9e51-08844662dd39')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

#### List Sponsored Content

```bash
GET /v1/ads_library/sponsored_content
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "request_status": "SUCCESS",
  "request_id": "...",
  "sponsored_content": [
    {
      "sub_request_status": "SUCCESS",
      "sponsored_content": {
        "id": "...",
        "name": "Content Name",
        "status": "ACTIVE"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Search Sponsored Content

```bash
POST /v1/ads_library/sponsored_content/search
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "limit": 50
}
```

#### Search Ads

Search for ads in the public Ads Library by advertiser name and country.

```bash
POST /v1/ads_library/ads/search
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "paying_advertiser_name": "Nike",
  "countries": ["fr", "de"],
  "limit": 50
}
```

**Parameters:**
- `paying_advertiser_name` (required) - Advertiser name to search for
- `countries` (required) - Array of lowercase 2-letter ISO country codes (e.g., `["fr", "de", "gb"]`)
- `start_date` - ISO 8601 timestamp for date range start
- `end_date` - ISO 8601 timestamp for date range end
- `status` - Filter by status (e.g., `"ACTIVE"`, `"PAUSED"`)
- `limit` - Number of results to return

**Note:** Not all countries are available in the Ads Library. EU countries (fr, de, gb, etc.) are supported. US ads may not be available due to regional restrictions.

**Response:**
```json
{
  "request_status": "SUCCESS",
  "request_id": "...",
  "paging": {
    "next_link": "..."
  },
  "ad_previews": [
    {
      "sub_request_status": "SUCCESS",
      "ad_preview": {
        "id": "...",
        "name": "Ad Name",
        "ad_account_name": "Advertiser Name",
        "status": "ACTIVE",
        "creative_type": "WEB_VIEW",
        "headline": "Ad Headline",
        "call_to_action": "SHOP NOW"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

## Pagination

The Snapchat API uses cursor-based pagination with the `limit` parameter (50-1000) and returns a `paging` object with `next_link`.

```bash
GET /v1/adaccounts/{adAccountId}/campaigns?limit=50
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "request_status": "SUCCESS",
  "campaigns": [...],
  "paging": {
    "next_link": "https://adsapi.snapchat.com/v1/adaccounts/{id}/campaigns?cursor=..."
  }
}
```

To get the next page, use the `next_link` URL (replace host with gateway):

```bash
GET /v1/adaccounts/{adAccountId}/campaigns?cursor=...
```

## Sorting

Some endpoints support sorting with the `sort` parameter:

```bash
GET /v1/adaccounts/{adAccountId}/creatives?sort=updated_at-desc
GET /v1/adaccounts/{adAccountId}/media?sort=created_at-desc
```

Supported values: `updated_at-desc`, `created_at-desc`

## Code Examples

### JavaScript

```javascript
// List organizations
const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/snapchat/v1/me/organizations',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.organizations);
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

# List organizations
response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/snapchat/v1/me/organizations',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
data = response.json()
print(data['organizations'])
```

### List All Campaigns Example

```python
import os
import requests

org_id = "YOUR_ORG_ID"
headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}

# Get ad accounts
response = requests.get(
    f'https://gateway.maton.ai/snapchat/v1/organizations/{org_id}/adaccounts',
    headers=headers
)
ad_accounts = response.json()['adaccounts']

# List campaigns for each ad account
for aa in ad_accounts:
    ad_account_id = aa['adaccount']['id']
    campaigns = requests.get(
        f'https://gateway.maton.ai/snapchat/v1/adaccounts/{ad_account_id}/campaigns',
        headers=headers
    ).json()
    print(f"Ad Account: {aa['adaccount']['name']}")
    print(f"Campaigns: {campaigns}")
```

## Notes

- **Monetary Values**: All monetary values use micro-currency (1 USD = 1,000,000 micro)
- **Bulk Operations**: Create/update endpoints accept arrays for batch operations
- **Response Format**: All responses include `request_status`, `request_id`, and entity arrays with `sub_request_status`
- **Timestamps**: Use ISO 8601 format with timezone (e.g., `2026-02-15T00:00:00.000-08:00`)
- **Ads Gallery Countries**: Not all countries are available in the Ads Library. EU countries (fr, de, gb, etc.) are supported.
- **Conversions API**: The Conversions API uses a different base URL (`tr.snapchat.com`) and is not currently routed through this gateway.
- **Public Profile API**: The Public Profile API may not be available or requires separate configuration.
- **IMPORTANT**: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments
