Limitations

Backfilling

When backfilling data that's more than a month, the job will be split into multiple jobs. Therefore, you will have to wait until all of them are done to get all of the results that you want.

Timezones

Snapchat gets each ad account’s specific timezone to use in the report from an endpoint that supplies account information.

Quotas

Snapchat doesn’t give specific numbers to the rate limits. The only information they can give are the names and types of the header whenever you hit the limit: https://developers.snapchat.com/api/docs/#rate-limits

Selectable Accounts

Accounts that show up after authentication does not guarantee access to the client. This datasource does NOT check whether the user the necessary access to request data from Snap. Below is an example of a permission related error:

CODE
None of the requested actions [READ_CONTAINER_ENTITY, READ_AD] can be authorized. Current user principal: 489aad24-1207-4672-be7d-a1bde5a53026. Container roles: [member, audience]"
