Need help understanding TikTok's messaging APIs

I'm integrating TikTok into my SaaS platform and I'm having a hard time figuring out which API I actually need. My goal is: - A TikTok user logs into my platform using TikTok OAuth. - I obtain an access token. - Using that token, I want to send and receive TikTok messages directly from my platform (similar to how platforms like Sambad.io, ManyChat, etc. work). The problem is that TikTok's API documentation feels pretty vague regarding messaging. I can find information about Login Kit, Content Posting APIs, Creator APIs, and Business APIs, but I can't clearly determine whether TikTok provides public APIs for sending and receiving direct messages. While researching, I noticed that Sambad.io appears to support TikTok messaging, which makes me wonder if they're using a partner-only API or if they have some special TikTok partnership. Has anyone implemented TikTok messaging integration before? Specifically: - Does TikTok provide public APIs for sending and receiving DMs? - Are these APIs restricted to approved partners? - Which TikTok product/API should I be looking at? - If messaging APIs are partner-only, what is the process for getting access? Any guidance or real-world experience would be greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/AffectionateTouch103 [link] [留言]
