WHY POSTZEN?

PostZen vs. TikTok Content Posting API

We handle rate limits automatically with smart queuing and retries
Upload media directly to us - we host and optimize it for you
Zero maintenance - we handle all API changes behind the scenes
One integration for 10 social platforms with identical patterns

TikTok native workflow

TikTok developer app setup, product review, and scope configuration
Strict rate limits with complex backoff logic
Video must meet strict encoding requirements
Frequent API changes require constant updates
Build separate integrations per platform

CODE EXAMPLE

Create a Post on TikTok via API

One POST request to /v1/post — send a file or a public URL

const response = await fetch('https://api.postzen.dev/v1/posts', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    platforms: [{
      platform: 'tiktok',
      accountId: 'your-tiktok-account-id'
    }],
    content: 'Behind the scenes of our latest project! 🎬',
    mediaItems: [{
      url: 'https://your-video-url.mp4'
    }],
    scheduledFor: '2024-01-15T14:00:00Z'
  })
});

const result = await response.json();
console.log('TikTok scheduled:', result.post._id);

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions?

How long does TikTok API approval take?

Apps built directly on TikTok's Content Posting API must complete TikTok's review process. PostZen customers do not operate a separate TikTok developer app; PostZen manages the platform integration. Availability still depends on TikTok's approval, policies, scopes, and account eligibility.

What video formats does the TikTok API accept?

Upload MP4, MOV, or WebM videos. PostZen validates media against TikTok's requirements before publishing.

Can I schedule TikTok posts in advance?

Yes. Set a scheduledFor timestamp in your API call and PostZen publishes at the exact time. We handle rate limits and queue requests if TikTok imposes temporary throttling.

Can I cross-post TikTok videos to other platforms?

Absolutely. The same API call can publish to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other supported platforms simultaneously.

Can I save a TikTok draft?

Yes. Set isDraft to true to save the post as a draft in PostZen, then schedule or publish it from the dashboard when you're ready.

How much does the TikTok API cost?

TikTok's Content Posting API does not charge an API fee, but a direct integration requires engineering work and TikTok review. PostZen is free for up to 2 connected accounts, with usage-based pricing beyond that, and PostZen manages the shared platform integration.
