💡 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.

Description

Quick Overview

This workflow runs every four hours to generate a CCTV-style animal video concept with OpenAI, renders an 8-second vertical clip using AtlasCloud Seedance, then publishes it to TikTok via Blotato and sends a preview to Telegram.

How it works

  1. Runs every 4 hours on a schedule.
  2. Uses OpenAI to create a hyper-realistic CCTV-style image and video prompt based on a random (or overridden) animal, location, action, and a current timestamp overlay.
  3. Starts a Seedance text-to-video render on AtlasCloud with the generated prompt, duration, aspect ratio, and optional audio.
  4. Polls AtlasCloud at a fixed interval until the render status is completed or succeeded and retrieves the output video URL.
  5. Uses OpenAI to generate a TikTok-ready title and exactly five hashtags from the video concept.
  6. Publishes the generated video to TikTok via Blotato with the title/hashtags and the selected privacy level, flagged as AI-generated.
  7. Sends the rendered video and title as a preview to a specified Telegram chat.

Setup

  1. Add OpenAI API credentials and set the prompt and caption models in the Configuration values if you want to change them.
  2. Add an AtlasCloud API key (HTTP Header Auth) and ensure it is selected for both the generate and status-check requests.
  3. Add a Blotato credential, select your TikTok account, and confirm your desired TikTok privacy level.
  4. Add a Telegram bot credential and set the target telegram_chat_id in the Configuration values.
