WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
I was checking out this file here: https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api/blob/master/TikTokApi/tiktok.py they seem to be directly scraping tiktok.com to get their information and taking advantage of tiktok’s non-developer API. The difference being with the unofficial one you don’t need an API key, just it’s legality at scale gets a little iffy (moreso in the case where Tiktok would be suffering a sufficiently large traffic load for your apps benefit though). If that’s a concern, then I would just use that official TikAPI rest API you linked. The downside of that being it requires OAuth integration, meaning a user of your application would have to sign into their tiktok account and grant your application authorization to act on its behalf. That’s probably a better way to go about it, but does limit/change the scope of what you can do.
