Authentication

TikTok Ads API Setup

1. Register as Developer

   • Create a developer account
   • Register your application

2. Get API Credentials

   • App ID and App Secret from your registered app
   • Generate access token through OAuth flow
   • Note your Advertiser ID

3. OAuth Flow (for production)

   • Implement OAuth 2.0 flow for user authorization
   • Handle token refresh automatically
   • Store tokens securely

Development vs Production

• Development: Use long-lived access tokens
• Production: Implement full OAuth flow with refresh tokens

Security Best Practices

• Never commit API credentials to version control
• Use environment variables for sensitive data
• Implement proper token rotation
• Monitor API usage and rate limits
• Use HTTPS for all communications

API Rate Limits

TikTok Ads API has the following limits:

• 1000 requests per hour per app
• 10 concurrent requests
• Specific endpoint limits may apply

The server includes built-in rate limiting and retry logic.

Error Handling

The server provides comprehensive error handling:

• API rate limit management
• Token expiration handling
• Network connectivity issues
• Invalid parameter validation
