api: Snap
summary: >-
  Snap ships a substantial client-side surface that is distinct from its
  server-side SDKs: an AR camera library for the browser, a family of social web
  embeds for Lenses/Spotlight/Stories/Profiles, a web share flow, and the Snap
  Pixel tag. These are loaded into a page or app rather than called over HTTP.

      registry: npm

  - family: Creative Kit Web

      Web integration that lets a site hand content off into Snapchat's camera
      for sharing, without a native SDK.
    docs: https://developers.snap.com/snap-kit/creative-kit/web

  - family: Snap Pixel
    kind: measurement-tag
    description: >-
      Client-side tag installed on an advertiser's website that correlates ad
      views with on-site conversions. The browser-side counterpart to the
      server-side Conversions API, and the pairing the deduplication guidance
      (event_id / client_dedup_id) is written for.
    distribution:
      - {channel: direct script install, note: "Installed on the site; managed as a Pixel entity in the Ads API."}
      - {channel: Google Tag Manager, template: Snapchat/snapchat-google-tag-manager, note: "Snap-published GTM community template."}
      - {channel: GTM server-side, template: Snapchat/capi-google-tag-manager-serverside-tag, note: "Snap-published server-side GTM template for the Conversions API."}
    docs: https://developers.snap.com/api/marketing-api/Ads-API/snap-pixel

deprecated:
  - family: Login Kit SDKs
    status: deprecated
    replacement: "Direct OAuth 2.0 integration"
    note: >-
      Snap previously shipped Login Kit SDKs that wrapped the OAuth2 service and
      supplied a drop-in "Login with Snapchat" button. Those SDKs are being
      deprecated; Snap's guidance is to implement OAuth2 directly. The underlying
      OAuth2 service remains fully available.

    ref: lifecycle/snap-lifecycle.yml

notes: >-
  Distinct from packages/snap-packages.yml, which catalogues the server-side and
  native client libraries. Only families Snap documents on its own developer site
  are listed.
