This section shows how to set up ODBC connectivity and configure DSNs on macOS.

Minimum macOS Version

The CData ODBC Driver for Snapchat Ads driver requires macOS Sierra (10.12) or above.

Licensing the Driver

In a terminal, run the following commands to license the driver. To activate a trial, omit the <key> input.

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Snapchat Ads/bin"
sudo ./install-license.sh <key>

You'll be prompted for a name and password. These refer to your name and your machine's password.

Snapchat Ads Accounts

Snapchat Ads uses the OAuth standard to authenticate users. See Using OAuth Authentication for a guide.

Additionally, you can optionally set AccountId to provide a default AccountId (meaning it won't need to be manually provided in the WHERE clause). If the AccountId is not specified the driver will try to get the first account from the list returned by the Accounts view.

Uninstalling the Driver

The easiest way to uninstall the driver is to open a terminal and run the included uninstall.sh script, located in the installation directory. For example:

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Snapchat Ads"
sudo ./uninstall.sh

Note: The script needs to be run from the installation directory.
