How It Works

Find Your TikTok Integration

List your connected accounts and grab your TikTok integration ID. You can also fetch available settings to see what options are supported.

  '.[] | select(.identifier=="tiktok")'

Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz Agent works as a CLI tool with any AI agent that can execute shell commands — including Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the SKILL.md file to learn all available Postiz commands, then autonomously discovers your TikTok integration, uploads your video, applies privacy and interaction settings, and schedules the post.

Claude Code

> Post my demo video to TikTok as public
  with duets enabled, schedule for tomorrow

Claude will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz upload ./demo.mp4
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Check out this demo!" \
    -m "uploaded-url" \
    -s "2025-03-02T09:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"privacy_level":
      "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE",
      "duet":true,"stitch":true,
      "comment":true,...}' \
    -i "tiktok-id"

TikTok + Other Platforms

Schedule the same video to TikTok and other platforms in a single command. Each platform gets its own settings.

Terminal

# Post a video to TikTok and YouTube simultaneously
postiz posts:create \
  -c "New tutorial is live! #coding #tutorial" \
  -m "$VIDEO_URL" \
  -s "2025-03-01T09:00:00Z" \
