Constraints

Sending Messages

Unfortunately, sending messages to TikTok users is not supported due to TikTok's API restrictions. This functionality is currently not allowed in the API.

SSL Requirement

To use the TikTok API, the application must be deployed with an SSL certificate. This means that your application must be accessible over HTTPS (e.g., https://appname.com). Additionally, your app must provide links to its Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.
