TikTok has become one of the most popular social media platforms. If you want to integrate TikTok into your application, you need to create a TikTok App API. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Step 1: Create a TikTok Developer Account
Before you can create a TikTok App API, you need to have a TikTok developer account. If you don't have one, go to https://developers.tiktok.com/signup and sign up for a developer account.
Step 2: Create a New TikTok App
Once you have your developer account, log in and go to the "Manage apps" menu item. Click on "Connect an app" and fill in the information required. You will be asked to provide the following:
- App Icon
- App name
- Category
- Description (example: Self-hosted social media management software)
On the "Platforms", enable "Configure for Web" option and put the Link to the official website for your app or service.
Next, in the left sidebar, click on "Add products" button and add the following products:
- Login Kit
- TikTok API
Then click on "Done" button and scroll down to the "Products" section.
On the "Login Kit" fill in the "Terms of Service URL" & "Privacy Policy URL" input.
Scroll down to "TikTok API" section and click on "Edit scopes" button. Enable the following scopes:
- video.list
- video.upload
- user.info.basic (enabled by default)
Click on "Done" button.
Scroll up to "Login Kit" section and fill the "Redirect URI" input: https://your-domain.com/mixpost/callback/tiktok
Review your information and click the "Save Changes" button at the top right of the page
Step 3: Submit for review
After saving the application configuration, you can send it for review. Click the "Submit for Review" button.
For the "Reason of submission" textarea you can use this text:
The app setup is complete and ready to use the TikTok API to share videos and get connected profile info.
At this stage, TikTok will analyze your request and provide access within 1-2 days. You will receive an email once there is an update.
