Videos → Upload Video
AI-generatedOverview
This node integrates with TikTok via the N8N Tools API to perform various TikTok-related operations. Specifically, for the Videos - Upload Video operation, it allows users to upload a video to TikTok by providing a video URL along with metadata such as title, description, and privacy settings.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating content publishing workflows by uploading videos directly to TikTok from external sources.
- Scheduling or batch uploading videos to TikTok without manual intervention.
- Integrating TikTok video uploads into broader marketing or social media automation pipelines.
For example, a marketing team could use this node to automatically upload promotional videos hosted on a cloud storage service to their TikTok account, setting appropriate titles and privacy levels as part of an automated campaign.

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the TikTok API after attempting to upload the video. This typically includes details about the uploaded video such as its ID, status, and any metadata returned by TikTok.
If multiple items are processed, the output is an array of such JSON objects, each corresponding to one input item.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires valid credentials for the N8N Tools API, including an API key and endpoint URL.
- Requires TikTok API credentials configured in n8n to authorize actions on behalf of the user.
- The node internally validates the subscription and API key before performing operations.
- Network access to both the N8N Tools API and TikTok endpoints is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and active.
- Video URL Issues: Ensure the provided video URL is accessible and points to a supported video format. Inaccessible URLs or unsupported formats will cause upload failures.
- Permission Errors: Make sure the TikTok credentials have sufficient permissions to upload videos.
- API Rate Limits: Frequent uploads may hit TikTok or N8N Tools API rate limits; consider adding delays or handling retries.
- Error Messages: The node surfaces errors from the underlying APIs. Review error messages carefully to identify issues like invalid parameters or network problems.
