Uses TikTok Content Posting API in sandbox for review

Prepare, review, and manually publish TikTok videos in one place.

Post Manager is a small web-based companion tool that helps creators organize video files, write captions, and manually publish content to TikTok via the Content Posting API. No scheduled or automated posting is performed.

Connect with TikTok (sandbox demo) Open content dashboard

Important for reviewers: Every upload to TikTok is triggered only after the user explicitly presses the “Publish to TikTok” button. There is no background automation, scraping, or bulk posting.

Sandbox demo flow

TikTok posting session

Environment: sandbox / test open_id

1

User logs in with TikTok

The user authorizes Post Manager via TikTok OAuth to obtain an access token and open_id.
2

User selects a video and writes a caption

The dashboard shows a simple form for choosing a local video file and entering a caption and visibility settings.
3

User presses “Publish to TikTok”

Only when the user clicks this button, Post Manager calls the Content Posting API to upload and publish the video on behalf of the user.

Confirmation message

The interface shows the API response status so the user can confirm that the post succeeded in TikTok.

How Post Manager works

Post Manager is designed to be a minimal, transparent companion for TikTok creators. It does not provide bulk posting, scraping, or any form of automation. Each action is initiated by the logged-in TikTok user.

1. TikTok login

The user logs in with TikTok using the standard OAuth flow. Post Manager stores the access token securely for the current session and uses it only for uploading and publishing the selected video.

2. Content preparation

The dashboard lets the user choose a video file, type a caption, and select visibility options (public / friends / private) before sending anything to TikTok.

3. Manual publishing only

Nothing is posted automatically. The user must press the “Publish to TikTok” button for each post. There is no scheduling, background reposting, or mass publishing.

4. Clear review flow

The demo video for TikTok review shows the entire flow: login, selecting a test video in the sandbox environment, adding a caption, and manually publishing the video.

5. Data minimization

Post Manager only processes the minimum data required to upload content: open_id, access token, and the video/caption provided by the user. Data is not sold, shared, or used for profiling.

6. Policy compliance

The tool is built to comply with TikTok’s Developer Terms, Content Posting API policy, and community guidelines. It is intended solely for the user’s own accounts and content.

TikTok integration & scopes

Post Manager uses only the scopes required to let a logged-in user upload and publish their own videos. All actions are visible to the user and require explicit confirmation inside the interface.

Scope / product	How it is used
Login / OAuth	Used to authenticate the user and obtain an access token and open_id. The login screen clearly shows that authentication is handled by TikTok.
Content Posting API – upload	Called only after the user selects a video and confirms the action. The upload is performed once per click; there is no loop or automation.
Content Posting API – publish	Once the upload succeeds, the app sends a publish request for that single video. The UI displays the API response so the user sees the result of the posting action.
