init(client_key)

If you are on Android this methid is necessary to initialize tiktok sdk. Please obtain a client key and secret from the developer portal on https://developers.tiktok.com under "My apps".

auth(callback)

This guide details how to enable authentication from your app to TikTok. After successfully completing authentication with TikTok, users will be able to access basic user data (display name and avatar).

Callback function returns 3 types of response.

  1. code - used to request user access token
  2. error 
  3. errMsg - If error is true then you can show what was the exact error

share(filePath, callback)

share method allows users to share videos from your app to TikTok, filePath shoud be valid mp4 video file path. Callback function returns string type responses:

Responses
PUBLISHED
NETWORK_ERROR
SHARING_CANCELED
SHARING_FAILED
UNSUPPORTED

events

Since Android side doesn't return response immediately, you need to set event listener in order to be informed when authentication or sharing processes are finished.

useEffect(() => {
  const authListener = events.addListener('onAuthCompleted', (resp) => {
    // response contains returned status(errorCode) and code (if status is 0)
    // you can check it here https://developers.tiktok.com/doc/getting-started-android-handling-errors
  });

  const shareListener = events.addListener('onShareCompleted', (resp) => {
    // response contains returned errorCode
  });

  return () => {
    authListener.remove();
    shareListener.remove();
  }
}, []);
