TikTok Content Posting API
Drafts, not autopost
Describe a vibe, get a swipe-ready set of background images, and Carousel Draft drops them into your TikTok Inbox as a draft. You add the text overlay by hand on your phone, then post — no scheduling, no auto-publish, you stay in control.

Overlay & post
Add your text/captions on your device, then post when you're happy.
TikTok permissions — in plain English
user.info.basic- Read your TikTok profile (open_id, name, avatar) so we know who you are.
video.upload- The key one — share images into your TikTok Inbox as a draft for you to finish. Nothing posts automatically.
video.publish- Optional, for a future "post now" toggle. Off by default.
Heads-up on carousels: TikTok's API supports photo posts, but photo uploads must be hosted on a verified domain (URL-based), and uploading photos as drafts is still being verified at runtime. If a photo draft doesn't stick, Carousel Draft falls back to a short slideshow video through TikTok's well-documented draft flow — your manual text-overlay step still works either way.
