TikTok

TryPost publishes videos and photo carousels to TikTok.

Connect your account

In the sidebar, open Channels and click Connect channel (or use New > Connect a new channel)
Choose TikTok and click Connect TikTok
Authorize TryPost on TikTok
On the confirmation page, check the account and click Finish connection

TryPost opens the new channel’s Publish page and asks how many times a week you want to post. See Connecting channels for the full flow.

Supported content types

Type	`content_type`	Aspect ratio	Description
Video	`tiktok_video`	9:16	One video
Photo carousel	`tiktok_photo`	—	1 to 35 images

Photos can be any shape; Edit Media offers 4:3, 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1. There is no post-type picker for TikTok: the attached media decides. A video makes a tiktok_video, images make a tiktok_photo, and the two never mix in one post.

Media limits

`content_type`	Image	Video	Duration	Format
`tiktok_video`	—	1 GB (Cloud cap; TikTok allows 4 GB)	10 minutes, or less if your TikTok account allows less	MP4 or MOV (TryPost does not accept WebM uploads)
`tiktok_photo`	10 MB	—	—	JPEG/WebP, up to 35 images

Official specs: Media Transfer Guide. Full catalog: Media.

Text and per-post options

TikTok allows 2,200 characters of caption. The editor’s TikTok settings (or platforms[].meta on the API) hold the options TikTok requires you to show:

Setting	`meta` key	Values	Applies to
Visibility	`privacy_level`	`PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE`, `MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS`, `FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR`, `SELF_ONLY`	Video + Photo. Required to schedule — there is no default
Allow comments	`allow_comments`	boolean, default off	Video + Photo
Allow Duet / Allow Stitch	`allow_duet` / `allow_stitch`	boolean, default off	Video only
Disclose video content	`disclose`	boolean	Video + Photo. When on, pick Your brand, Branded content or both, or the post cannot be scheduled
Your brand / Branded content	`brand_organic_toggle` / `brand_content_toggle`	boolean	Video + Photo. Branded content cannot be Only me (`SELF_ONLY`)
AI-generated	`is_aigc`	boolean	Video only
Auto add music	`auto_add_music`	boolean	Photo only

The choices you see come from your TikTok account: TikTok can shorten the maximum video length and switch off comments, Duet or Stitch, and TryPost shows those as Turned off in your TikTok account settings. The API exposes the same data at Get TikTok creator info (GET /social-accounts/{account}/tiktok-creator-info).

TikTok has no API to delete a post. Deleting a post in TryPost never removes it from TikTok (or any other network) — remove it in the TikTok app.

Self-hosting setup

Configure TikTok API credentials

Go to TikTok Developers and create an app
Enable both the Content Posting API (for video.publish / video.upload) and Login Kit (for the user.info.* scopes)
Add the scopes listed above to the app’s authorized scopes
Set the redirect URL to {APP_URL}/accounts/tiktok/callback
Add to your .env:

TIKTOK_CLIENT_ID=your_client_key
TIKTOK_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
TIKTOK_CLIENT_REDIRECT="${APP_URL}/accounts/tiktok/callback"

If your TikTok app lacks a product (for example, the Display API for video.list), trim the scopes TryPost requests with a comma-separated list:

TIKTOK_SCOPES=user.info.basic,user.info.profile,user.info.stats,video.publish,video.upload

Hide TikTok with TIKTOK_ENABLED=false.
