“Sing of the work you love and the labor becomes celebration.” — Rabindranath Tagore.
In today’s digital world, that celebration extends beyond the individual — it thrives when shared. Whether publishing on TikTok, Medium, or any platform, turning creative labor into sharable inspiration transforms isolated effort into community impact. By building tools and workflows that make publishing seamless, we allow our passions to resonate widely, where code and creativity together amplify the joy of meaningful work.
Introduction
TikTok’s Content Posting API allows developers to programmatically upload and post videos (and photos) to TikTok from their apps. This guide explains how to integrate both Inbox (Draft Upload) and Direct Post modes of the API into a web application (e.g. a Next.js app) for local development. We’ll focus on using TikTok’s Sandbox environment with ngrok for testing, and cover everything from OAuth setup to making API calls. Along the way, we’ll highlight key differences between uploading a draft versus directly publishing content, and share best practices (like disclosing AI-generated media) to ensure compliance with TikTok’s policies.
