View Error Reference →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.
