I followed the documentation here https://developers.tiktok.com/doc/web-video-kit-with-web to Log in using the Login Kit and then I successfully got the access_token and open_id for an account.
Now I uploaded a video following the instructions in the documentations as follows from an ExpressJS Server:
const FormData = require('form-data');
const got = require('got');
const axios = require('axios');
//Video Upload Function
async function uploadVideoToTikTok(){
let tikTokAccessToken = //Retrieved from database;
let openId = //Retrieved from database;
let shareUrl = `https://open-api.tiktok.com/share/video/upload/?open_id=${openId}&access_token=${tikTokAccessToken}`;
let video = got.stream(mediaUrl); //Media Url is similar to https://firebasestorage.com/adadadadadadad.mp4
let tikTokShareform = new FormData();
tikTokShareform.append("video", video);
try {
let { data } = await axios.post(shareUrl, tikTokShareform);
console.log(`TikTok Upload Result=${JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}`);
} catch (e) {
console.log(`TikTok Video Upload Error`);
console.log(e);
}
}
But the response I keep getting back is
'Bad Request'
No further info was provided for me to know the reason for the bad request.
Also I noticed the documentation didn't provide any info on how to provide description or title for the video.
Any ideas on how I can resolve this will be truly appreciated.
Thank you
Probably the problem was due to missing Content-Type header in your HTTP POST request, you should try something like:
let { data } = await axios.post(
shareUrl,
{
headers: {
"Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",
},
},
tikTokShareform,
);
Or, even better:
let { data } = await axios.post(
shareUrl,
{
headers: tikTokShareform.getHeaders(),
},
tikTokShareform,
);
