Integration cost

Skip weeks of TikTok integration work

One test post against a sandbox account is the easy part. Production TikTok publishing means app verification, OAuth across many accounts, media pipelines, dozens of edge cases, and a permanent on-call rotation for "why didn't this one go through this time?"

Weeks of TikTok integration work compressed to hours

Social media integration is not a one-off job — it's a constant commitment. Platforms change their APIs, scopes, limits, and policies on their own schedule. Every change becomes your problem unless someone else is absorbing it.

That's exactly what Postproxy does for TikTok — and every other platform we support — so your team ships features instead of chasing failed publishes.

How Postproxy publishes to TikTok

01 TikTok's publishing model
TikTok's Content Posting API uses a two-phase flow: first you initialize an upload by specifying video metadata and constraints, then you upload the video to a TikTok-provided URL. After upload, the video enters an async processing and review pipeline before it goes live. Unlike other platforms, TikTok requires you to declare content properties upfront — privacy level, whether comments and duets are allowed, and whether the content is AI-generated. Postproxy wraps this into a single request where you specify all parameters at once.
02 Privacy controls and content disclosure
TikTok's API requires explicit privacy settings on every post: public, friends, or private. It also mandates disclosure flags for AI-generated content and branded partnerships — failing to set these when required can result in post rejection or account penalties. Postproxy exposes these as straightforward fields in the platform parameters, with sensible defaults and validation to prevent rejected uploads.
03 Common gotchas Postproxy handles for you
TikTok's API has unique constraints that trip up most integrations: videos must be between 3 seconds and 10 minutes, the upload URL expires after a short window, and the processing status must be polled after upload. The API also requires specific video codecs (H.264/H.265) and has different size limits depending on the upload method (file upload vs. URL pull). Postproxy validates video constraints before upload, handles the time-sensitive upload flow, and polls for processing completion so you get a definitive success or failure response.
04 Engagement settings and music
Each TikTok post can independently control whether comments, duets, and stitches are enabled. These aren't just boolean flags — they interact with account-level settings and content type restrictions. Postproxy lets you set allow_comment, allow_duet, and allow_stitch per post, and validates that your settings are compatible with the account's capabilities before submitting to TikTok's API.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about TikTok integration

01 How do I configure privacy settings for my TikTok video?

Use the privacy_status parameter with values: "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE" (visible to all), "MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS" (mutual followers only), "FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR" (followers only), or "SELF_ONLY" (private).

02 Can I disable comments on my TikTok post?

Yes! Set disable_comment to true in the platforms object. You can also disable duets (disable_duet) and stitches (disable_stitch) separately.

03 Does TikTok support automatic music addition?

Yes! Set auto_add_music to true to enable automatic music addition. TikTok will automatically add trending music to your video if no audio is detected.

04 Can I mark my content as AI-generated?

Yes! Use the made_with_ai parameter set to true to mark your video as AI-generated. This helps with transparency and compliance.

05 What video formats and sizes are supported?

TikTok supports mp4, mov, av, and webm formats. Videos can be up to 4 GB in size and must be between 3 seconds and 10 minutes long. Minimum dimensions are 720x1280 pixels.
