Snap

Snap Inc. is the technology company behind Snapchat, Bitmoji, Spectacles, and Lens Studio. Its Snap for Developers program exposes several public APIs and SDKs: the Snapchat Marketing API (Ads API, Ads Gallery API, Conversions API, and Public Profile API) for programmatically managing organizations, ad accounts, campaigns, ad squads, ads, creatives, audiences, measurement, and server-to-server conversion events; Snap Kit / Login Kit for OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect powered "Login with Snapchat", Creative Kit, and Bitmoji Kit; and Camera Kit for embedding Snap's augmented-reality Lenses into third-party apps and web experiences. The Marketing API is an OAuth 2.0 REST API served from adsapi.snapchat.com/v1 with cursor pagination and a structured request envelope. Snap publishes first-party OpenAPI 3.0 for the Conversions API in its own Business SDK repositories, ships a hosted read-only MCP server for Snapchat Ads at mcp.snapchat.com/ads with pre-registered OAuth clients for five agents, and delivers lead-generation leads by HMAC-signed webhook. First-party SDKs are published for Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, JavaScript (Camera Kit on npm), Android, and iOS. Snap was surfaced as a portfolio company of General Catalyst and enriched into the API Evangelist network.

The Snap catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.
