Advertising APIs are where an agent's mistake becomes a spend line. Snapchat shipped analysis without the ability to act, which makes this safe to hand to anyone on the team who needs to understand performance — and useless for the automation people usually want. Know which of those you are after. The admin-approves-then-members-authorise flow is the right shape for an agency too: approval happens once at the organisation, access stays per person.
Snapchat's endpoint over their Ads API, deliberately read-only: no create, no update, no delete.
Reviewing campaign setup, analysing performance, and planning delivery — all against live account data, none of it able to modify a campaign.
- Sign in from the agent side, pick your organisation, and have an admin approve it
- Each member of the organisation then authorises at the same endpoint
- Agents are pre-registered by client ID; read-only access needs no allowlisting
- Authorisation is revoked from Snapchat's manage-apps page
Admin enables it, then paste and authorize — add the endpoint to your client, then approve the OAuth consent screen
