Platform Limits (API)

⚠️ TikTok API is stricter than native app for captions and duration.

Property	API Limit	Native App
Caption	2,200 characters	4,000 characters
Video duration	10 min	60 min
Video size	4 GB	—
Video format	MP4, MOV, WebM	—
Images	❌ Video only	—
Text only	❌ Video required	—
Daily posts	15–20 posts/day	—
Rate limit	2 videos/minute	—

Common errors:

• spam_risk_too_many_posts — daily limit reached, wait 24h
• duration_check_failed — video must be 3s–10min
• unaudited_client_can_only_post_to_private_accounts — app needs TikTok audit

⚠️ If your TikTok app is not audited by TikTok, all posts will be private by default.

Upload a TikTok Video

TikTok requires video. Use the 3-step upload workflow:

// Step 1: Create post (draft without scheduledTime, or scheduled)
const post = await fetch('https://api.publora.com/api/v1/create-post', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'x-publora-key': 'sk_YOUR_KEY' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    content: 'Your TikTok caption here #trending',
    platforms: ['tiktok-123456789'],
    scheduledTime: '2026-03-20T18:00:00.000Z'
  })
}).then(r => r.json());

// Step 2: Get upload URL
const upload = await fetch('https://api.publora.com/api/v1/get-upload-url', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'x-publora-key': 'sk_YOUR_KEY' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    postGroupId: post.postGroupId,
    fileName: 'video.mp4',
    contentType: 'video/mp4',
    type: 'video'
  })
}).then( => r.());


 (upload., {
  : ,
  : { :  },
  : videoFileBytes
});

Python Example

import requests

HEADERS = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'x-publora-key': 'sk_YOUR_KEY' }

# Step 1: Create post
post = requests.post('https://api.publora.com/api/v1/create-post', headers=HEADERS, json={
    'content': 'Your TikTok caption #viral',
    'platforms': ['tiktok-123456789'],
    'scheduledTime': '2026-03-20T18:00:00.000Z'
}).json()

# Step 2: Get upload URL
upload = requests.post('https://api.publora.com/api/v1/get-upload-url', headers=HEADERS, json={
    'postGroupId': post['postGroupId'],
    'fileName': 'video.mp4',
    'contentType': 'video/mp4',
    'type': 'video'
}).json()

# Step 3: Upload
with open('video.mp4', 'rb') as f:
    requests.put(upload['uploadUrl'], headers={'Content-Type': 'video/mp4'}, data=f)

Platform Quirks

• Video only — TikTok does not support images or text-only posts via API
• Minimum duration: 3 seconds; maximum via API: 10 minutes
• Unaudited apps post privately — videos will be set to private if the Publora TikTok app hasn't passed TikTok's audit
• Caption limit is 2,200 via API (not 4,000 like native) — keep captions concise
• Daily limit: 15–20 posts/day enforced by TikTok
