STEP 1 - Load Credentials

Credentials are stored in ~/.config/tiktok-page/credentials.json.

$cfg          = Get-Content "$HOME/.config/tiktok-page/credentials.json" -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json
$accessToken  = $cfg.TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN
$refreshToken = $cfg.TIKTOK_REFRESH_TOKEN
$clientKey    = $cfg.TIKTOK_CLIENT_KEY
$clientSecret = $cfg.TIKTOK_CLIENT_SECRET
$openId       = $cfg.TIKTOK_OPEN_ID

If the file does not exist, guide setup:

Field	Purpose
TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN	OAuth2 access token — used for all API calls
TIKTOK_REFRESH_TOKEN	Used to refresh access token when expired
TIKTOK_CLIENT_KEY	App Client Key from TikTok Developer Portal
TIKTOK_CLIENT_SECRET	App Client Secret — for token refresh only
TIKTOK_OPEN_ID	TikTok user open_id returned during OAuth

One-time OAuth2 setup:

1. Go to https://developers.tiktok.com — create or select your app
2. Add redirect URI (e.g. https://localhost or your callback URL)
3. Note your Client Key and Client Secret
4. Direct user to:
   https://www.tiktok.com/v2/auth/authorize/?client_key=CLIENT_KEY&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI&response_type=code&scope=user.info.basic,video.list,video.publish,video.upload,comment.list&state=random
5. After redirect, copy the code param from the callback URL

# Exchange auth code for tokens
$clientKey   = "<your-client-key>"
$clientSecret = "<your-client-secret>"
$code        = "<auth-code-from-redirect>"
$redirectUri = "<your-redirect-uri>"

$body = "client_key=$clientKey&client_secret=$clientSecret&code=$code&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=$redirectUri"
$r = Invoke-RestMethod "https://open.tiktokapis.com/v2/oauth/token/" -Method POST `
    -Headers @{ "Content-Type" = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" } -Body $body -ErrorAction Stop

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$HOME/.config/tiktok-page" | Out-Null
@{
    TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN  = $r.access_token
    TIKTOK_REFRESH_TOKEN = $r.refresh_token
    TIKTOK_CLIENT_KEY    = $clientKey
    TIKTOK_CLIENT_SECRET = $clientSecret
    TIKTOK_OPEN_ID       = $r.open_id
} | ConvertTo-Json | Set-Content "$HOME/.config/tiktok-page/credentials.json" -Encoding UTF8

Restrict file permissions immediately after saving:

# Windows
icacls "$HOME/.config/tiktok-page/credentials.json" /inheritance:r /grant:r "$($env:USERNAME):(R,W)"
# macOS / Linux
# chmod 600 ~/.config/tiktok-page/credentials.json

Never commit this file to version control. It contains long-lived secrets. This skill makes no external calls other than to open.tiktokapis.com. No data is forwarded to third parties.

---

STEP 2 - Token Refresh

TikTok access tokens expire after 24 hours. Refresh before making calls if needed:

$cfg = Get-Content "$HOME/.config/tiktok-page/credentials.json" -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json
$body = "client_key=$($cfg.TIKTOK_CLIENT_KEY)&client_secret=$($cfg.TIKTOK_CLIENT_SECRET)&grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=$($cfg.TIKTOK_REFRESH_TOKEN)"
$r = Invoke-RestMethod "https://open.tiktokapis.com/v2/oauth/token/" -Method POST `
    -Headers @{ "Content-Type" = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" } -Body $body -ErrorAction Stop

$cfg.TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN  = $r.access_token
$cfg.TIKTOK_REFRESH_TOKEN = $r.refresh_token
$cfg | ConvertTo-Json | Set-Content "$HOME/.config/tiktok-page/credentials.json" -Encoding UTF8
Write-Host "Tokens refreshed."

STEP 3 - Figure Out the API Call

Common Endpoints

What user wants	Method	Endpoint
Get account info	POST	/user/info/
List own videos	POST	/video/list/
Get video detail	POST	/video/query/
Get comments	GET	/video/comment/list/?video_id={id}
Publish video from URL	POST	/post/publish/video/init/ with PULL_FROM_URL
Upload video from file	POST then PUT	/post/publish/video/init/ then upload_url
Check publish status	GET	/post/publish/status/fetch/?publish_id={id}

API Call Patterns

GET account info:

$cfg = Get-Content "$HOME/.config/tiktok-page/credentials.json" -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $($cfg.TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN)"; "Content-Type" = "application/json; charset=UTF-8" }
$body    = @{ fields = "display_name,avatar_url,follower_count,following_count,likes_count,video_count" } | ConvertTo-Json
$result  = Invoke-RestMethod "https://open.tiktokapis.com/v2/user/info/" -Method POST -Headers $headers -Body $body -ErrorAction Stop
$result.data.user

List videos:

$cfg = Get-Content "$HOME/.config/tiktok-page/credentials.json" -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $($cfg.TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN)"; "Content-Type" = "application/json; charset=UTF-8" }
$body    = @{ max_count = 20; fields = "id,title,create_time,cover_image_url,share_url,view_count,like_count,comment_count,share_count" } | ConvertTo-Json
$result  = Invoke-RestMethod "https://open.tiktokapis.com/v2/video/list/" -Method POST -Headers $headers -Body $body -ErrorAction Stop

$body    = @{ filters = @{ video_ids = @("<video_id>") }; fields = "id,title,view_count,like_count,comment_count,share_count,embed_html" } | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 4
$result  = Invoke-RestMethod "https://open.tiktokapis.com/v2/video/query/" -Method POST -Headers $headers -Body $body -ErrorAction Stop
$result.data.videos

        privacy_level   = "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE"
        disable_duet    = $false
        disable_stitch  = $false
        disable_comment = $false
    }
    source_info = @{
        source            = "PULL_FROM_URL"
        video_url         = "https://example.com/video.mp4"
        video_size        = 12345678
        chunk_size        = 10000000
        total_chunk_count = 1
    }
} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5
$result = Invoke-RestMethod "https://open.tiktokapis.com/v2/post/publish/video/init/" -Method POST -Headers $headers -Body $body -ErrorAction Stop
Write-Host "Publish ID: $($result.data.publish_id)"

Upload video from local file:

$cfg = Get-Content "$HOME/.config/tiktok-page/credentials.json" -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $($cfg.TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN)"; "Content-Type" = "application/json; charset=UTF-8" }
$filePath  = "C:\path\to\video.mp4"
$fileSize  = (Get-Item $filePath).Length
$chunkSize = 10MB

$initBody = @{
    post_info = @{
        title           = "Your caption"
        privacy_level   = "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE"
        disable_duet    = $false
        disable_stitch  = $false
        disable_comment = $false
    }
    source_info = @{
        source            = "FILE_UPLOAD"
        video_size        = $fileSize
        chunk_size        = $chunkSize
        total_chunk_count = [math]::Ceiling($fileSize / $chunkSize)
    }
} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5
$initResult = Invoke-RestMethod "https://open.tiktokapis.com/v2/post/publish/video/init/" -Method POST -Headers $headers -Body $initBody -ErrorAction Stop
$uploadUrl  = $initResult.data.upload_url
$publishId  = $initResult.data.publish_id

# Upload chunks

$buffer     = New-Object byte[] $chunkSize
$chunkIndex = 0
while (($bytesRead = $fileStream.Read($buffer, 0, $chunkSize)) -gt 0) {
    $chunk      = $buffer[0..($bytesRead - 1)]
    $rangeStart = $chunkIndex * $chunkSize
    $rangeEnd   = $rangeStart + $bytesRead - 1
    Invoke-RestMethod $uploadUrl -Method PUT -Headers @{
        "Content-Range" = "bytes $rangeStart-$rangeEnd/$fileSize"
        "Content-Type"  = "video/mp4"
    } -Body $chunk | Out-Null
    $chunkIndex++
}
$fileStream.Close()
Write-Host "Upload complete. Publish ID: $publishId"

STEP 4 - Handle Errors

try {
    # ... API call ...
} catch {
    $err     = $_.ErrorDetails.Message | ConvertFrom-Json -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    $code    = $err.error.code
    $message = $err.error.message
    Write-Host "TikTok API Error $code: $message"
}

Code	Meaning	Fix
access_token_invalid	Token revoked or invalid	Re-run OAuth2 setup in STEP 1
access_token_expired	Access token expired (24h TTL)	Run token refresh in STEP 2
spam_risk_too_many_requests	Rate limited	Wait and retry; reduce request frequency
scope_not_authorized	Missing OAuth scope	Re-authorize with the required scope (see below)
video_not_found	Video ID invalid or deleted	Verify the video ID
privacy_level_not_allowed	Privacy setting not permitted	Use PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE or SELF_ONLY
file_size_check_failed	Video file too large	Must be under 4GB and 60 minutes
duration_check_failed	Video too short or too long	Min 1 second, max 10 minutes (60 min for some accounts)

Scopes Reference

Scope	Required for
user.info.basic	Get account info
video.list	List own videos
video.publish	Publish videos
video.upload	Upload video chunks
comment.list	Read comments on own videos
comment.list.manage	Hide or delete comments

If a scope is missing:

1. Go to https://developers.tiktok.com — select your app
2. Under Products, add the required scope
3. Re-authorize (repeat STEP 1 OAuth2) with the new scope added to the URL
4. Save the new tokens to credentials.json

---

AGENT RULES

• Always load credentials first. If missing, guide OAuth2 setup from STEP 1.
• Only use TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN for API calls. TIKTOK_CLIENT_SECRET is for token refresh only.
• Rotate TIKTOK_REFRESH_TOKEN and TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN immediately if the host is ever compromised.
• Never write extra fields to the credentials file.
• All API calls go to open.tiktokapis.com only. No external forwarding, no third-party services.
• Construct API calls inline from user intent — do not look for script files.
• Access tokens expire after 24 hours. If a call returns access_token_expired, run STEP 2 first then retry.
• On any error: parse error.code, map to the table above, tell the user exactly what to do.
• If a scope is missing: name it, link to developers.tiktok.com, say to re-authorize.
• OS detection: env:OS eq Windows_NT -> powershell; otherwise -> pwsh.
• No hardcoded user IDs, video IDs, or tokens — all come from credentials.json.
