Frequently Asked Questions

How do I upload a TikTok video using Claude Code?
After installing the Upload-Post skill with "npx skills add Upload-Post/upload-post-skill", simply tell Claude Code to post a video to TikTok. For example: "Upload my-video.mp4 to TikTok with the caption 'New product launch'". Claude Code sends the video to the Upload-Post API, which handles TikTok's Content Posting API authentication, chunked uploads, and publishing. The entire process takes under 30 seconds for most videos.
Does the Claude Code TikTok skill support carousel posts?
Yes. The skill fully supports TikTok carousel posts (also called photo slideshows). You can upload up to 35 images in a single carousel. Just provide multiple image files and the API assembles them into a swipeable carousel post. Each image is automatically optimized to TikTok's recommended 1080x1920 resolution if needed.
Can I add trending sounds to my TikTok uploads through Claude Code?
Yes. When uploading a video, you can specify a sound ID from TikTok's audio library. The Upload-Post API attaches the selected audio track to your video during the publishing process. Using trending sounds is one of the most effective strategies for increasing discoverability on TikTok, as the algorithm favors content that uses popular audio.
How does TikTok upload scheduling work with Claude Code?
You can schedule TikTok posts for a specific date and time by passing a "scheduled_time" parameter in ISO 8601 format. The Upload-Post API queues the content and publishes it at the designated time. This works for videos, photos, and carousels. You can also batch-schedule multiple posts in a single session by making successive API calls.
What is the TikTok Content Posting API and how does the skill use it?
The TikTok Content Posting API is TikTok's official interface for third-party applications to publish content programmatically. The Upload-Post skill abstracts away the complexity of TikTok's OAuth flow, chunked upload protocol, and publish confirmation steps. Instead of managing access tokens and multi-step upload sequences, you simply provide your video file and caption, and the skill handles the rest through Upload-Post's managed API infrastructure.
