TikTok API

API

TikTok for Developers APIs to post videos and show a user's TikTok content

Price: Free
Access: User access token (OAuth)

About

TikTok's official APIs let users log in with TikTok, post videos and photos to their account, and show their own videos and stats in your app. Unaudited apps post privately for at most 5 users a day. The Research API is only for vetted academic and non-profit researchers.

What you can do with it

Post videos and photo carousels directly to a creator's TikTok profile
Upload videos as drafts that creators finish in the TikTok app
Show a user's profile and recent videos with view and like counts

Get started

Register an app and add Login Kit and the Content Posting API
Get the video.publish scope approved and authorized by the user
Pass the audit to post publicly (unaudited posts stay private)

Example

curl -X POST 'https://open.tiktokapis.com/v2/post/publish/video/init/' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' \
  -d '{"post_info": {"title": "Hello #tiktok", "privacy_level": "SELF_ONLY"},
       "source_info": {"source": "PULL_FROM_URL",
         "video_url": "https://example.verified.domain.com/example_video.mp4"}}'
