Snapchat

Manage Snapchat ad accounts, campaigns, ad squads, ads, creatives, and audiences via OAuth-secured Marketing API integration.

Security Scan

The skill's requirements and runtime instructions are internally consistent: it routes Snapchat API calls through Maton's gateway and only requests a single Maton API key (MATON_API_KEY).

Purpose & Capability

The skill claims to manage Snapchat marketing resources and all declared requirements and examples use Maton's gateway endpoints (gateway.maton.ai / ctrl.maton.ai) and the MATON_API_KEY environment variable — which is consistent with a gateway-based Snapchat integration. Minor metadata mismatch: registry 'Homepage: none' vs SKILL.md metadata listing https://maton.ai.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructions show only HTTP calls to Maton endpoints and require the MATON_API_KEY; they instruct opening an OAuth URL in a browser to complete Snapchat consent. There are no instructions to read unrelated files, other environment variables, or system paths.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files (instruction-only). This minimizes on-disk execution risk; examples use standard Python stdlib calls in the docs only.

Credentials

Only one required env var (MATON_API_KEY) is declared and used in examples. That key is appropriate for a gateway-based API proxy; there are no unrelated credentials requested.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent or system-wide privileges. It does allow normal autonomous invocation (disable-model-invocation=false) which is the platform default.

Assessment

This skill delegates Snapchat API access to Maton's gateway, so installing it effectively grants whatever access MATON_API_KEY provides to that gateway (not directly to Snapchat). Before installing: verify you trust maton.ai and their gateway, limit the scope and lifetime of the MATON_API_KEY if possible, keep the key in a secure store, and review Maton's documentation and privacy/security practices. Note the small metadata inconsistency (registry homepage missing while SKILL.md references https://maton.ai) — you may want to confirm the publisher identity if that matters to you.

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

Quick Start

# 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:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

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

List Connections

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

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

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:

{
  "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

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:

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.

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

Response:

{
  "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):

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

Sorting

Some endpoints support sorting with the sort parameter:

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

// 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

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

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
