});Snapchat Marketing API
- Business account setup and API access approval requires organization verification and can take weeks
- Creative asset uploads use a multi-step flow with separate endpoints for different media types and ad formats
- Content must conform to Snap's specific format requirements -- vertical video, specific resolutions, and duration limits
- The API is primarily advertising-focused, making organic content publishing through the API complex to navigate
- OAuth implementation uses Snap's custom flow with short-lived tokens and complex scope requirements
