Overview
This node enables uploading videos to TikTok. It is designed for scenarios where users want to automate the process of adding video content to their TikTok account directly from n8n workflows. For example, marketers or social media managers can use this node to programmatically upload promotional videos or user-generated content without manual intervention.

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from TikTok's API after attempting to upload the video. This typically includes metadata about the uploaded video such as its ID, status, and any relevant URLs or messages returned by TikTok.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the code), it would represent the uploaded video or related media content, but based on the static analysis, only JSON output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for TikTok's API.
- Needs proper configuration of the TikTok environment (production or sandbox) which affects the base URL used for requests.
- The node depends on TikTok's open API endpoints for video upload functionality.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing API credentials will prevent successful authentication.
- Uploading unsupported video formats or files exceeding size limits may cause errors.
- Network connectivity issues can interrupt the upload process.
Error Messages:
- Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or expired API tokens; re-authenticate with valid credentials.
- Validation errors may occur if the "Video File" property is empty or points to an inaccessible file.
- API rate limiting errors suggest too many requests in a short period; implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
