Creator info, video uploads and search. Where a launch video reaches people who never read a landing page.

## Connecting

In the dashboard, open **Connectors**, find TikTok and press **Connect**. You will be sent to sign in; the connection is saved once that succeeds.

### What you will need

| Field | What it is |
| - | - |
| Client Key | Your TikTok App Client Key (also called App ID) |
| Client Secret | Your TikTok App Client Secret |

### Getting the credential

1. Go to [TikTok for Developers](https://developers.tiktok.com/) → **Manage Apps** → **Create App**
2. Fill in app details and configure **Login Kit**
3. Add redirect URI: your platform's OAuth callback URL
4. Copy **Client Key** (App ID) and **Client Secret**

## Notes

* `video.publish` requires TikTok app review (production) — use sandbox for development
* Research API endpoints (`search_videos`, `get_video_comments`) require separate Research API access
* TikTok user tokens expire after 24 hours; refresh tokens last 365 days
