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 24hduration_check_failed— video must be 3s–10minunaudited_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 => r.json());
// Step 3: Upload video to S3
await fetch(upload.uploadUrl, {
method: 'PUT',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'video/mp4' },
body: 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
