TikTok Publishing Docs

Publish TikTok videos automatically with approved Direct Post, or choose optional Draft Upload when the creator wants to finish editing in TikTok.

Last updated: 2026-08-11 · Technical source: live Postifys API behavior and API reference

Quick answer: Use POST /api/tiktok/post with postMode: "direct" to publish automatically, or postMode: "inbox" for Draft Upload.
Direct Post review: Select an allowed privacy level, respect creator interaction capabilities, obtain explicit consent, and confirm TikTok’s Music Usage Confirmation before submission.

curl -X POST https://postifys.com/api/tiktok/post \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

  -d '{
    "tiktokAccountId": "OPEN_ID_FROM_CONNECTIONS",

Limitations

  • Privacy and interaction choices must come from the connected creator’s current capabilities.
  • Direct Post is asynchronous; poll the returned publish status until complete or failed.
  • Draft Upload still requires the creator to finish publishing inside TikTok.
  • Video eligibility follows TikTok media and policy rules.
