Getting Started

Build your first TokPortal integration in 5 minutes.

Prerequisites​

Step 1: Generate an API Key​

Go to the Developer Portal and click Generate. Copy your key — it starts with tok_live_ and is shown only once.

Step 2: Verify Your Key​

curl https://app.tokportal.com/api/ext/me \
  -H "X-API-Key: tok_live_your_key_here"

You should see your profile and credit balance.

Step 3: Create a Bundle​

curl -X POST https://app.tokportal.com/api/ext/bundles \
  -H "X-API-Key: tok_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "bundle_type": "account_and_videos",
    "platform": "tiktok",
    "country": "USA",
    "title": "My First Bundle",
    "videos_quantity": 5
  }'

This creates a TikTok account in the USA with 5 video slots. Cost: 35 credits (25 account + 5×2 videos).

Step 4: Configure the Account​

curl -X PUT https://app.tokportal.com/api/ext/bundles/{bundle_id}/account \
  -H "X-API-Key: tok_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "username": "mybrand",
    "visible_name": "My Brand Official",
    "biography": "Fashion and lifestyle content"
  }'

Step 5: Configure Videos​

Upload a video first, then configure:

# Get a presigned upload URL
curl -X POST https://app.tokportal.com/api/ext/upload/video \
  -H "X-API-Key: tok_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"filename": "video1.mp4", "bundle_id": "{bundle_id}"}'

# Upload the file (use the upload_url from the response)
curl -X PUT "{upload_url}" \
  -H "Content-Type: video/mp4" \
  --data-binary @video1.mp4

# Configure the video slot
curl -X PUT https://app.tokportal.com/api/ext/bundles/{bundle_id}/videos/1 \
  -H "X-API-Key: tok_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "video_type": "video",
    "description": "Check out this trend! #fashion",
    "target_publish_date": "2026-03-01",
    "video_url": "{public_url}"
  }'

Or use batch configuration to set up multiple videos at once, or CSV import to import from a spreadsheet.

Step 6: Publish​

curl -X POST https://app.tokportal.com/api/ext/bundles/{bundle_id}/publish \
  -H "X-API-Key: tok_live_your_key_here"

Your bundle is now live. An account manager will be assigned and start working on it.

Step 7: Track Progress​

curl https://app.tokportal.com/api/ext/bundles/{bundle_id} \
  -H "X-API-Key: tok_live_your_key_here"

Monitor the status field on the bundle, account, and each video.
