What bundle.social handles
TikTok posting needs more than a file upload
bundle.social keeps upload IDs, privacy settings, captions, campaign timing, and status together so TikTok fits the rest of your publishing product.
Workflow
How it works
Connect accounts once, then create and schedule posts with channel-specific fields from one API.
Upload media via Media API
Upload your video file once using our Media Upload API and get an upload ID. We handle the complex resumable upload process.
Set privacy controls
Configure TikTok-specific settings like privacy level, comments, and duets in your post payload.
Schedule the post
Send the final payload with the upload ID and a post date. We will publish it exactly when you want.
Capabilities
TikTok content posting workflows built around status
Videos, photo mode, captions, privacy controls, and scheduling in one API workflow.
Video-first payloads
Create TikTok posts with uploaded media references and TikTok-specific fields. Skip the 45-hour integration process.
Privacy controls
Pass privacy and interaction options supported by the connected TikTok account. Disable comments or duets easily.
Campaign scheduling
Queue TikTok content with the rest of the launch calendar instead of publishing manually. Set to draft for human review.
Analytics connection
Pair published TikToks with audience and performance data where permissions allow. See age splits and watch-time data.
Platform specifics
TikTok content posting specifics to handle before launch
TikTok is video-first, but photo mode, privacy, review status, music, and analytics each have practical API edge cases.
Photo mode is JPG-only
TikTok Photo Mode accepts 1 to 10 images, but only JPG or JPEG files. Each image must stay under 20 MB, so convert PNG and WebP assets before upload.
Music is controlled
Trending in-app audio is generally not available through the API. Use Commercial Music Library tracks, autoAddMusic, or burn licensed audio into the video file.
Review and privacy states
TikTok is commonly the platform that moves posts into REVIEW. Private SELF_ONLY videos may not return a public permalink immediately.
Developer example
Create a TikTok content post
Examples use bundle.social's public API shape: API key authentication, a post date, selected social account types, and platform-specific data.

Honest limitations
- TikTok account eligibility, content policy, and app permissions still apply.
- Media must satisfy TikTok's format and duration requirements.
- Some music and sound options depend on business account and licensing rules.

FAQ
Questions developers ask before building
Is this the same as TikTok API?
This page focuses specifically on content posting workflows. The broader TikTok API page covers more capabilities.
Can I schedule TikTok videos?
Yes. Create a TikTok post with a future postDate and SCHEDULED status.
Can I add commercial music?
Commercial music support depends on TikTok's rules and account type. See the TikTok music pages for that intent.
