Configuring TikTok Organic as a Source
In the Sources tab, click on the “Add source” button located on the top right of your screen. Then, select the TikTok Organic option from the list of connectors. Click Next and you’ll be prompted to add your access.1. Add account access
You need to authorize Nekt to access your TikTok account via OAuth 2.0. Complete the TikTok authorization flow so that the connector can use your OAuth credentials to obtain and refresh access tokens. Once you’re done, click Next.2. Select streams
Choose which data streams you want to sync. For faster extractions, select only the streams that are relevant to your analysis. You can select entire groups of streams or pick specific ones.Tip: The stream can be found more easily by typing its name.Select the streams and click Next.
3. Configure data streams
Customize how you want your data to appear in your catalog. Select the desired layer where the data will be placed, a folder to organize it inside the layer, a name for each table (which will effectively contain the fetched data) and the type of sync.- Layer: choose between the existing layers on your catalog. This is where you will find your new extracted tables as the extraction runs successfully.
- Folder: a folder can be created inside the selected layer to group all tables being created from this new data source.
- Table name: we suggest a name, but feel free to customize it. You have the option to add a prefix to all tables at once and make this process faster!
- Sync Type: you can choose between INCREMENTAL and FULL_TABLE. All streams use full table sync by default.
4. Configure data source
Describe your data source for easy identification within your organization, not exceeding 140 characters. To define your Trigger, consider how often you want data to be extracted from this source. This decision usually depends on how frequently you need the new table data updated (every day, once a week, or only at specific times). Optionally, you can define some additional settings:- Configure Delta Log Retention and determine for how long we should store old states of this table as it gets updated.

- Determine when to execute an Additional Full Sync. This will complement the incremental data extractions, ensuring that your data is completely synchronized with your source every once in a while.
5. Check your new source
You can view your new source on the Sources page. If needed, manually trigger the source extraction by clicking on the arrow button. Once executed, your data will appear in your Catalog.Streams and Fields

Data Model
The following diagram illustrates the relationship between the two streams. user_info is the authenticated user’s profile; videos is the list of videos published by that user.Implementation Notes
- Authentication: The connector uses OAuth credentials to obtain and refresh access tokens automatically.
- API base: Requests are sent to the TikTok Open API by default. Endpoints used include
/v2/user/info/(user_info) and/v2/video/list/(videos). - Pagination: videos uses cursor-based pagination (cursor, max_count). user_info returns a single record.
- Stream selection: You can select user_info, videos, or both. Select only what you need to reduce extraction time and catalog size.
