TikTok

Business software

Built when you ask for it

Sync TikTok video, user info, comment, and insight data into your warehouse. Ingest builds this connector the first time a customer asks for it, then keeps the tables current in a data warehouse you own, on the schedule you choose.

The TikTok connector syncs your business account data into analytics-ready tables in your data warehouse. Pull videos, user info, comments, and insights from the TikTok Display API, with Ingest handling auth, pagination, and retries so the tables stay current. This covers the Display API (read profile/video data) — a separate Content Posting API exists for publishing.

What you would get

Each of these arrives as its own table, kept current on the schedule you choose:

  • Videos
  • User info
  • Comments
  • Insights

How it gets built

  1. Choose TikTok when you set up a pipeline, with the warehouse it goes to and a schedule.
  2. Ingest reads TikTok's documentation, and you choose the tables you want.
  3. Ingest builds the connector and tests it against TikTok itself.
  4. A person at Ingest reviews and publishes it, and your pipeline starts on its own.

What you will need

OAuth 2.0 via TikTok Login Kit (Bearer). Register an app in the TikTok developer portal, get it approved for the needed scopes, then have each user authorize it through Login Kit.

You enter it once, in a form in Ingest, and it is kept in a secret store set aside for your organization.

Questions

Does Ingest have a TikTok connector?
Not as a finished connector yet. Ingest builds it from TikTok's own documentation the first time a customer asks, tests it against the real service, and lists it once it passes.
Which warehouses can TikTok data go to?
Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL and Snowflake, in an account you own.
Do I need to write code?
No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.

TikTok API documentation: https://developers.tiktok.com/doc/display-api-get-started/

Setting up the destination is its own short guide, one per warehouse or lake: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL, Snowflake.

Other sources Ingest connects for SaaS teams: Asana, Jira, Airtable, Clockify, Facebook Ads, Frankfurter.
