What bundle.social handles
TikTok publishing without the upload-and-review maze
TikTok posts need media readiness, privacy fields, review status, and timing in one place. bundle.social keeps those moving parts in the same workflow as the rest of the campaign.
Workflow
How it works
Connect accounts once, then create and schedule posts with channel-specific fields from one API.
Create an API key
Generate an organization API key in the dashboard and use it with the x-api-key header.
Connect accounts
Connect each social account once. bundle.social keeps the account mapping ready for future posts.
Create or schedule posts
Send one request with the publish date, selected channels, and the fields each platform needs.
Capabilities
TikTok API workflows for video-first publishing
Upload references, privacy controls, review states, music constraints, and analytics context built around TikTok's content model.
TikTok-specific payload fields
Control the fields that matter on TikTok: captions, media types, privacy settings, and more, using the same post endpoint as every other channel.
API key authentication
Use one bundle.social API key for server-to-server requests. Your users still connect social accounts once through the hosted OAuth flow; bundle.social handles token storage and refresh.
Scheduling built in
Set a postDate to schedule TikTok content in advance, or create drafts and queue posts through the dashboard.
Media library integration
Upload TikTok-compatible media once and reference the same upload ID across multiple posts or campaigns.
Post status and retry tracking
Track TikTok posts through scheduled, processing, posted, retrying, and error states from the API or the shared dashboard.
Cross-platform publishing
Add other channels to the same post payload when TikTok is part of a multi-platform campaign. No separate API calls needed.
Content distribution center at scale
Route TikTok videos across multiple connected accounts using one API shape. Upload media once, reference it across campaigns, and isolate per-post status so a single failure never blocks the whole queue.
Audience demographics and raw analytics
Access raw TikTok analytics including audience age splits, gender distribution, city and country reach, and video watch-time data to build custom dashboards and reports.
Platform specifics
TikTok API specifics for video and photo workflows
TikTok publishing has platform rules that should be visible in the product before customers upload content.
Photo mode is JPG-only
TikTok Photo Mode supports 1 to 10 images, but only JPG or JPEG files. Each image must stay under 20 MB.
Music is not generic audio
Trending in-app audio is generally not available through the API. Use Commercial Music Library tracks, autoAddMusic, or pre-burn licensed audio into the video.
Review states are normal
TikTok can move content into REVIEW, and private SELF_ONLY videos may not return a public permalink immediately.
Developer example
Schedule a TikTok post
Examples use bundle.social's public API shape: API key authentication, a post date, selected social account types, and platform-specific data.
