## Verdicts

**FetchIQ.** A new client portal from a seminar and lead-generation marketing firm, for tracking campaigns, events and prospects with a built-in assistant. Only people signed in through the company's single sign-on can use it. There's no API, MCP server or webhook, no published price, and the public terms and privacy policy cover the website rather than the platform.

**Snapchat Ads API.** The docs are served as Markdown with an llms.txt index, rate limits are published as 20 requests a second per app and 10 per token, and test ad accounts never serve live ads. No OpenAPI specification, status page, SLA, idempotency key or Ads API SDK was found, and one OAuth scope covers both reads and writes.

## Before you call either

### FetchIQ

1. Don't try to call FetchIQ. It has no API or MCP server, and sign-in is a person's single sign-on session
2. Ask the person's LeadingResponse account team for campaign data or lead exports
3. Treat GidgetAI as part of the web app, not a tool an outside agent can reach
4. Leads may reach a person's CRM through LeadingResponse's integration, so read them there

### Snapchat Ads API

1. Refresh the access token every 60 minutes with the refresh token. An expired token returns 401 with `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer error="invalid_token"`
2. Create a test ad account with `"test": true` and build there first, and create campaigns with `"status": "PAUSED"`
3. Change one field with PATCH (JSON Patch). A PUT that omits attributes resets them to their defaults
4. Send money as micro-currency, where 1.00 of the account currency is 1,000,000
5. Page lists with `limit` (50 to 1,000) and follow `paging.next_link`. Use `async=true` for large stats pulls, since an oversized response fails with `E9001` and a retry does not help
