Post a TikTok Video

TikTok requires a video upload. Always attach a video to TikTok posts.

const API_KEY = 'sk_YOUR_KEY';
const BASE_URL = 'https://api.publora.com/api/v1';
const headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'x-publora-key': API_KEY };

// Step 1: Create post with TikTok settings
const postRes = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/create-post`, {
  method: 'POST', headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    content: 'How we built our startup in 60 seconds #startup #tech #coding',
    platforms: ['tiktok-99887766'],
    platformSettings: {
      tiktok: {
        viewerSetting: 'PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE',
        allowComments: true,
        allowDuet: true,
        allowStitch: true,
        commercialContent: false,
        brandOrganic: false,
        brandedContent: false
      }
    }
  })
});
const { postGroupId } = await postRes.json();

// Step 2: Get upload URL
const uploadRes = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/get-upload-url`, {
  method: 'POST', headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    fileName: 'video.mp4', contentType: 'video/mp4',
    type: 'video', postGroupId
  })
});
const { uploadUrl } = await uploadRes.json();

// Step 3: Upload video (use fs/buffer in Node.js)
const fs = require('fs');
const axios = require('axios');
const videoBuffer = fs.readFileSync('./video.mp4');
await axios.put(uploadUrl, videoBuffer, {
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'video/mp4' },
  maxContentLength: 512 * 1024 * 1024
});

Tips for TikTok

• Video required — text-only posts don't work on TikTok
• Vertical 9:16 format only — anything else gets cropped
• Max size: 512 MB
• Hook in first 1–3 seconds — critical for watch time / algorithm
• Best lengths: 7–15 seconds for viral, 60+ for educational
• Best times: 6–10 PM on weekdays; 9 AM–11 AM on weekends
• Trending sounds dramatically increase reach when applicable
