TikTok is a short-form video platform with APIs for accessing creator profiles and content. The TikTok connector lets your Lovable app read account profile data, access video metadata, and build creator workflows that rely on TikTok account information. With TikTok, your app can:
  • Read basic profile data including display name and account ID
  • Access follower counts, like counts, and video statistics
  • Read extended profile details such as bio and avatar
  • Fetch a list of published videos and their metadata
The TikTok connector is read-only and connects to a single TikTok account via OAuth. It’s a good fit for creator tools, social dashboards, content portfolios, and analytics apps built around a specific TikTok account.

How to connect TikTok

Workspace admins and owners can connect TikTok. You can create multiple TikTok connections using different accounts, which is useful for separating environments or managing multiple creators. When the connection is created, TikTok becomes available across all projects in the workspace. Anyone building in a project can ask Lovable in chat to link their project to it.

​
Prerequisites

Before connecting TikTok, make sure you have:
  • A TikTok account you want to connect (you can also create one during the OAuth flow)
  • Lovable workspace owner or admin role
All API requests made through this connector consume TikTok API units according to your TikTok plan. Billing and quota are handled directly by TikTok, not Lovable.

​
Set up your TikTok connection

1

Open TikTok in Connectors

Go to Connectors → App connectors and select TikTok.
2

Add a connection

Click Add connection.
3

Name the connection

In Display name, name the connection (for example, My TikTok). This name is only used inside Lovable to identify the connection.
4

Review scopes (optional)

Expand Advanced settings to review the permissions your app will request. Default scopes are pre-selected for common use cases. Scopes control what data the connection can access. All four scopes are selected by default.You can remove any optional scope, except Read basic profile information, which is required and cannot be removed.For full scope documentation, see TikTok’s API scopes reference.
5

Choose who can access this connection

Under Who can access this connection, decide who in your workspace can use the connection:
  • Only you (default): only the person creating the connection can use it and its associated data.
  • Invite specific people: only you and explicitly added workspace members can use the connection and its associated data.
  • Invite entire workspace: click Invite entire workspace to make the connection available to everyone in your Lovable workspace.
See Who can manage connections for more information.

Connect to TikTok and authorize

Click Connect. The TikTok authorization window opens, so make sure your browser doesn’t block pop-ups. If it does, Lovable redirects you instead.Sign in to TikTok if prompted, review the requested permissions, and click Allow.You’ll be redirected back to Lovable with a confirmation.
When connected, anyone building in a project can ask Lovable in chat to link their project to TikTok (based on configured connection-level access). Your Lovable apps can then start reading TikTok profile data and video content.

​
Limitations

The TikTok connector is read-only. It cannot:
  • Upload or publish videos to TikTok
  • Access private videos or draft content
  • Read comments, DMs, or notifications
  • Manage followers or interact with other accounts
  • Receive TikTok webhooks or real-time events
  • Support per-end-user TikTok login. Each connection represents a single TikTok account shared across all projects linked to it.
If TikTok authorization is revoked from the TikTok side, you’ll need to reconnect the integration in Lovable before API calls can succeed again. Editors and above can remove specific projects from a connection without deleting the connection entirely. The connection will remain available for other projects. To unlink projects:
1

Open Connectors

Open Connectors and select .
2

Open the connection

Open the connection you want to manage.
3

Select projects

Under Linked projects, check the projects you want to unlink.
4

Confirm

Click Unlink projects and confirm.
When unlinked, those projects will no longer have access to through this connection. If a project needs again, you can link it to any available connection.

​
How to delete a connection

Workspace admins and owners can delete connections. Other members can delete a connection if they created it, or if they have been explicitly granted access to it.
Deleting a connection is permanent and cannot be undone. It will remove the credentials from all linked projects, and any apps using this connection will stop working until a new connection is added.
Before deleting, review the Linked projects section to see which projects are currently using the connection. To delete a connection:
1

Open Connectors

Open Connectors and select .
2

Open the connection you want to remove.
3

Review linked projects

Review the Linked projects section.
