How It Works
Three Steps to TikTok Automation
Connect Your Account
Link your TikTok account through our dashboard. One-click OAuth — we handle all the TikTok permissions.
Build Your Integration
Use our simple REST API to schedule videos with captions and hashtags. Same pattern works for all 10+ platforms.
We Handle the Rest
Late publishes at your scheduled time, retries on failures, and notifies you via webhooks. You never touch TikTok's API directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a TikTok app password?
TikTok uses OAuth for authentication. During the connection flow, you grant Late permission to post on your behalf using TikTok's official API.
What video specs do you support?
Upload MP4 videos up to 10 minutes (standard accounts) with 1080p resolution. We automatically transcode to formats TikTok accepts.
Can I save drafts?
Yes. Set scheduledFor to null to create drafts, then update the post later with a scheduled time once you're ready to publish.
How many videos can I schedule?
Late supports unlimited TikTok posts based on your plan. We handle rate limits and queue requests if TikTok imposes temporary throttling.
Can I cross-post to other platforms?
Absolutely. TikTok posts can be shared alongside Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, and Reddit in one API call.
