Snapchat Marketing API OAuth Integration
Connect Snapchat Marketing API to your application without building and maintaining the OAuth flow.
The Snapchat Marketing API manages ad campaigns on Snapchat. Each user connects their own Snapchat Marketing API account through your OAuth app. Pathfix manages the authorization flow, stores and refreshes their tokens, and authenticates the requests your application makes to the Snapchat Marketing API API. What your integration does with that access is up to your code.
How Pathfix helps
- 01
OAuth authorization
Pathfix runs the authorization flow with your Snapchat Marketing API OAuth app, so users approve access on Snapchat’s own consent screen.
- 02
Token management
Each user’s access and refresh tokens are stored by Pathfix rather than in your application.
- 03
Token refresh
Where Snapchat Marketing API issues refresh tokens, Pathfix refreshes them as they expire, so connections keep working after the first authorization.
- 04
Authenticated API passthrough
Your application sends Snapchat Marketing API API requests through Pathfix, which adds the connected user’s credentials before passing them on to Snapchat Marketing API.
You own the Snapchat Marketing API OAuth application and its credentials, and your code implements the API logic.
