TikTok Scheduler

Schedule TikTok videos and photo carousels, with privacy and interaction settings, from a calendar, your code, or an AI agent.

TikTok is included on the free Starter plan: 3 connected accounts, 15 posts a month, up to 3 queued posts, scheduling up to 7 days ahead, and API and MCP access, with video uploads up to 50 MB. Pro costs $5.99 per account per month ($3.99 billed yearly), with graduated discounts from the 6th account, unlimited posts under fair use, no scheduling horizon, and video uploads up to 250 MB.

Publora schedules TikTok posts through TikTok's official Content Posting API. Use the calendar to plan by hand, the REST API to publish from your own tools, or the MCP server to let an AI agent like Claude or Cursor queue videos for you.

You control the same settings you would see in the TikTok app before posting: who can view the post, whether comments, Duets and Stitches are allowed, and whether the post promotes your own brand or a paid partner. TikTok also applies your account's own settings, so a creator-level restriction always wins over the request.

TikTok has no text-only posts. Every post is either one video or a photo carousel, and the caption goes with it.

What you can publish to TikTok

  • Videos. One MP4, MOV or WebM video per post, from 3 seconds up to your account's maximum length (10 minutes by default), recorded at 23 frames per second or more.
  • Photo carousels. Up to 35 JPEG, PNG or WebP images in a single photo post.
  • Privacy settings. Publish to everyone, mutual friends, followers only, or only yourself. Private TikTok accounts can only post with the "only me" setting.
  • Interaction settings. Turn comments, Duet and Stitch on or off for each post. Duet and Stitch apply to videos only.
  • Commercial content disclosure. Mark a post as promoting your own brand, as branded content for a paid partnership, or both.

How to schedule TikTok posts with Publora

  1. 1

    Connect your TikTok account

    Sign in with TikTok from the Publora dashboard. The account gets a platform ID like tiktok-{openId}.

  2. 2

    Add the video or photos

    Upload a video or up to 35 images in the calendar, send public https URLs through the API, or give files to your AI agent. Write a caption of up to 2,200 characters and pick privacy and interaction settings.

  3. 3

    Schedule it

    Set the time and Publora publishes to TikTok at that moment. TikTok may take a little while to process the video before it shows on your profile.

  -H "x-publora-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{

      "tiktok": {
        "viewerSetting": "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE",
        "allowComments": true,
        "allowDuet": false,
        "allowStitch": true,
        "commercialContent": false
      }
    }
  }'

Or ask your AI agent

Connect Claude, Cursor or any MCP client to mcp.publora.com and schedule in plain English:

  • “Schedule this video URL to TikTok for Saturday at 18:00 UTC, visible to followers only, with comments on and Duet off.”
  • “Make a TikTok photo post from these five image URLs for tomorrow at 12:00 UTC and mark it as promoting my own brand.”
  • “Show my scheduled TikTok posts for next week and change the Tuesday post to followers only with Stitch turned off.”

TikTok scheduling tips

  • Check the frame rate on exports

    TikTok rejects videos below 23 FPS. Screen recordings and slideshow exports are the usual offenders, so export at 24, 25 or 30 FPS.

  • Make your account public before scheduling public posts

    If the TikTok account is private, only the "only me" setting works and other privacy options are rejected. Switch the account to public in the TikTok app first.

  • Disclose brand content every time

    If a post promotes your business or a partner, turn on commercial content and choose your own brand, branded content, or both. Publora will not accept commercial content without one of them.

  • Leave time for processing

    TikTok processes each video after upload, so a post can appear on your profile a little after the scheduled minute. Allow for that when timing a post around a launch or event.
