TikTok
TikTok for Developers bundles several OAuth-based kits under one app registration — Login Kit for authentication, Display API for a user's own public videos, and Content Posting API for publishing on their behalf — all issued through open.tiktokapis.com. More sensitive scopes require TikTok's app review before going live, and a separate Research API exists for qualified academics to query public data.
