Feature Request: TikTok Branded Content Disclosure for Auto-Posting
M
Maik Reifschneider
Hello OpusClip Team,
I would like to follow up on my feature request regarding TikTok Commercial Content Disclosure / Branded Content support in OpusClip.
I have now tested this directly through the OpusClip API.
My goal was to determine whether TikTok's existing Direct Post API parameters could already be passed through OpusClip's postDetail.custom object.
TikTok officially supports the following parameters for Direct Post:
brand_content_toggle
brand_organic_toggle
For third-party branded content, the relevant configuration is:
brand_content_toggle = true
brand_organic_toggle = false
I performed two live tests through the OpusClip API.
Test 1 – snake_case
The following additional fields were included in postDetail.custom:
{
"brand_content_toggle": true,
"brand_organic_toggle": false
}
OpusClip accepted the request successfully and returned HTTP 201.
Example response:
{
"data": {
"postId": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-TIKTOK_BUSINESS"
}
}
The video was published to TikTok, but after publication I checked the TikTok post settings manually.
The Commercial Content Disclosure / Branded Content setting was NOT enabled.
Test 2 – camelCase
I then repeated the test using:
{
"brandContentToggle": true,
"brandOrganicToggle": false
}
Again, the video was published, but TikTok's Branded Content / Paid Partnership disclosure was NOT enabled.
This strongly suggests that OpusClip currently accepts the additional fields in the API request but does not forward them to TikTok's Direct Post API.
TikTok's Content Posting API already supports these fields officially, so I believe this could be implemented on the OpusClip side.
Requested improvement
It would be very useful if OpusClip could officially support these TikTok parameters when publishing:
brand_content_toggle
brand_organic_toggle
Ideally, the OpusClip UI and API could provide three options:
No commercial content
Promotional Content / Own Brand
Branded Content / Paid Partnership
For creators like me who use OpusClip to turn product reviews into TikTok clips, an additional default setting would be extremely useful:
"Automatically mark all TikTok posts from this project/account as Branded Content."
This is especially important because TikTok may restrict the distribution of commercial content if the required disclosure is missing.
At the moment, I can publish the clips automatically through OpusClip, but I then have to open every single TikTok video manually and enable the Branded Content disclosure afterwards. With many automatically generated clips, this removes much of the benefit of automated publishing.
TikTok Direct Post API documentation:
If useful, I can also provide the Python test script and the API request/response logs from these tests.
I would appreciate it if you could forward this request and the test results to your API/product development team.
Best regards,
Maik
