Generated by API Evangelist
Written by API Evangelist tooling for Snapchat's API. It is a proposal applied on top of the contract, not a document Snapchat publishes.

x-description: OpenAPI Overlay 1.0.0 capturing API Evangelist enrichments for this spec. It adds runtime
semantics Snap documents in prose but does not express in the contract — rate limits, cursor pagination,
partial-success responses, and the absence of idempotency. Apply it to the spec; never mutate the
original.

description: Every Marketing API operation shares one rate-limit envelope and one non-idempotent write
posture. Snap publishes the numbers but no response headers, so record them on the operations where
a client can act on them.
update:
x-rate-limit:
application: 20 requests/second average across all tokens issued to the app
token: 10 requests/second average per access token
status: 429
headers: []
retry_after: false
source: https://developers.snap.com/marketing-api/Ads-API/rate-limits
x-idempotency:
supported: false
note: No Idempotency-Key header. A retried write creates a duplicate entity.

description: 'Snap documents cursor pagination for collection reads: a limit between 50 and 1000, and
an absolute paging.next_link carrying an opaque cursor, ordered by CreatedAt.'
update:
x-pagination:
style: cursor
limit_param: limit
limit_min: 50
limit_max: 1000
next: paging.next_link
ordering: CreatedAt

- target: $.paths[*][*].responses.200
description: The Marketing API can return HTTP 200 with failing entities inside. Warn consumers that
the status line is not the outcome.
update:
x-partial-success:
possible: true
inspect: sub_request_status
envelope:
- request_status
- request_id
- sub_request_status
note: A 200 means the request was accepted, not that every entity succeeded.
