A OAuth user is a logged in TikTok account that has given you authorization to perform actions on their account or view private information.

You can ask users to "Login with TikTok", just like Google or Facebook.

We've made this possible by implementing a custom OAuth system on top of TikTok platform.

Some example use cases:

• Gather feedback from inbox messages or post comments and respond to them, making it easier to organize, automate and collaborate with a team.
• View analytics and reports
• Automate Link and Bio change
• Confirm the identity of a TikTok account
  
  etc.

If you just want to view public information of TikTok accounts or get public feed posts, you do not need OAuth users, you can just use our Public endpoints.
