Schedule tiktok Uploads

[tidusete]

Good afternoon,
I would like to know if you could implement a feature that allows you to upload videos to tiktok using the scheduler that tiktok offers when you use business accounts.
The idea I have in mind is to run the script once a week and have the script schedule the upload of all videos to tiktok.
Is this possible?

Technically, yes. I have not played around with business accounts so I am not quite familiar. I currently have two accounts uploading videos which just use a cron job to schedule everything at the correct time.

If you are going to automate the uploading anyways, why couldn't you just run the script more often instead of just once a week. Having the script randomly popup on your computer can be a little annoying, but much preferably imo.

TikTok is providing this feature natively through a closed Beta at this time. Using TikTok's official solution if you have a business account is likely better in the end.

This may be a feature I add eventually, but not at the moment just due to time constraints.

I'm completly agree with your idea and ideally I started to implement it with my raspberrypi 4, but I was wasted and I decided to go to the most standar way.
Said that, I have the following problems:
I don't have a server that can be running 24/7
I just have 1 account that I would like to test.
So my idea was to try to go to serverless with a powerful computer

May I ask which setup do you have to run it?

Thanks @wkaisertexas for your time

My solution is not ideal, but I am currently just using a background process on my Desktop PC. Implementation on the Raspberry PI should not be too difficult as it only requires a custom webdriver which can be tricky.

Once created, this can be passed as a custom browser_agent to either upload_video or upload_videos.
