💡 Pro Tip — Since TikTok doesn’t have a public API, getting data usually means fragile HTTP scraping. ScraperNode is a community node that gives you clean JSON for TikTok profiles, videos, and comments — drop it into your workflow and skip the parsing.

🎥 Auto-Caption & Autopost Videos to Instagram & TikTok
Description
Automate your short-form content pipeline! This workflow takes any video uploaded to a specific Google Drive folder, generates engaging captions with Submagic, and then auto-posts the finished video (with AI-generated captions) directly to Instagram or TikTok via Postiz. Captions are further refined with OpenAI for brand-ready social text. Finally, each published video is logged into a Google Sheet for tracking.
