# Snapchat Import Integration

Snapchat allows you to easily communicate with friends, view live stories from around the world, and discover news via temporary pictures and video messaging. As a business, you can run Snapchat Ads Manager to create and manage ads and run campaigns to generate leads and more. Snapchat Import integration allows you to import lead generation report data from Snapchat.

## Prerequisites

- Basic knowledge of Treasure Data
- A Snapchat business account


## Requirements and Limitations

- Import of only lead generation report data is supported.
- Data collected from lead generation ads is not stored for more than 30 days. This means that the start time cannot be more than 30 days in the past.
- The Snapchat Marketing API implements rate limits to ensure infrastructure stability. Rate limits are implemented both at App and Token level. The App supports an overall average volume of 20 requests per second while individual Access tokens issued by the App can make requests at an average of 10 requests per second.
