What Promoter does with TikTok

Promoter is a public product for independent creators and app makers. Each creator connects their own TikTok account via OAuth (Login Kit, Desktop mode) and publishes original videos — trailers, gameplay footage, product demos — that they created themselves.

We do not copy, scrape, or aggregate content from other platforms onto TikTok. We do not post to accounts the creator does not own.

Scopes requested

user.info.basic (Login Kit) — display the connected TikTok account's nickname and avatar so the creator knows which profile will receive the post.
video.publish (Content Posting API → Direct Post) — publish the creator's original video directly to their TikTok profile after they explicitly confirm.

We do not request video.upload (draft/inbox), analytics scopes, or any scope that accesses other users' data.

How the posting flow works

The creator imports an original video into their Promoter media library (the video must be their own work).
On the Post to TikTok screen, Promoter calls /v2/post/publish/creator_info/query/ and displays:
- The creator's TikTok nickname.
- A preview of the video.
- An editable title (caption).
- A privacy dropdown populated from privacy_level_options with no default value — the creator must select manually.
- Comment, Duet, Stitch toggles — all unchecked by default; disabled and greyed out when the creator's account settings disallow them.
- A commercial content disclosure toggle (off by default) with "Your brand" and "Branded content" options and the exact TikTok-required labels.
- The declaration "By posting, you agree to TikTok's Music Usage Confirmation" (and "Branded Content Policy" when applicable).
The creator presses Publish. Only then does Promoter call /v2/post/publish/video/init/ with source=FILE_UPLOAD, upload the bytes, and poll /v2/post/publish/status/fetch/.
Promoter notifies the creator that processing may take a few minutes and shows the post status until PUBLISH_COMPLETE.

Intended audience

Promoter is designed for a wide public audience of independent game developers, app makers, and video creators — not an internal upload tool for a single team. Each user connects their own TikTok account and publishes their own original content.
