TikTok Marketing API

TikTok for Business is TikTok's advertising platform, where brands, agencies and advertisers create, manage and optimize ad campaigns across TikTok and its family of apps. The TikTok API for Business — the Marketing API at business-api.tiktok.com/open_api/v1.3 — is the REST interface behind it, covering advertiser accounts, campaigns, ad groups, ads, Upgraded Smart+ and GMV Max automation, creatives and files, product catalogs, custom and lookalike audiences, Business Center asset and member administration, conversion measurement through the Events API, and synchronous plus asynchronous reporting. Access is granted by a three-legged advertiser authorization that issues a long-lived token presented in an Access-Token header, with permissions expressed as a three-level hierarchy of numeric scope IDs. TikTok also operates a hosted Model Context Protocol server that packages roughly 400 of these endpoints as OAuth-protected MCP tools for AI agents.

TikTok Marketing API publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: TikTok Marketing API. Tagged areas include Advertising, Marketing, Social-Media, Ad Campaigns, and Performance Marketing.

The TikTok Marketing API catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

TikTok Marketing API’s developer surface includes authentication, sandbox, changelog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, and 37 more developer resources.
