1. Create a TikTok Ads account if you don’t already have one.
2. Apply for developer access on the TikTok for Business website to use the TikTok Marketing API.
3. Get your API credentials after your application is approved. You will need the Access Token to authenticate your API requests.

1. Identify the data you want to export from TikTok (e.g., campaign performance, ad spend, etc.).
2. Study the TikTok Marketing API documentation to understand the endpoints you need to hit to retrieve the data you want.

1. Choose a programming language that you are comfortable with and that can make HTTP requests (e.g., Python, Node.js, etc.).
2. Write a script that makes authenticated requests to the TikTok Marketing API. Here’s a pseudocode example using Python:

import requests
import json

# API endpoint for retrieving the desired data
api_endpoint = "https://business-api.tiktok.com/open_api/v1.2/reports/integrated/get/"

# Your API parameters
params = {
   "advertiser_id": "your_advertiser_id",
   "start_date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
   "end_date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
   # Other parameters based on your requirements
}

# HTTP headers with your access token
headers = {
   "Content-Type": "application/json",
   "Access-Token": "your_access_token"
}

# Make the API request
response = requests.get(api_endpoint, headers=headers, params=params)

# Check if the request was successful
if response.status_code == 200:
   data = response.json()
   # Process the data as needed
else:
   print("Error:", response.status_code)

1. Parse the JSON response from the API to extract the data you need.
2. Format the data into a structure that can be imported into Google Sheets (e.g., a list of lists or a CSV format).

1. Create a new Google Sheet where you will import the data.
2. Label the columns according to the data you’re importing from TikTok.

1. Use Google Sheets API or Google Apps Script to automate the import process. For this guide, we will use Google Apps Script.
2. Write a Google Apps Script to import the formatted data:

• Go to your Google Sheet, click on Extensions > Apps Script.
• Write a script to parse the data and append it to the sheet:

function importDataToSheet(data) {
 var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
 data.forEach(function(row) {
   sheet.appendRow(row);
 });
}


3. Expose the function as a web app (Publish > Deploy as web app) if you want to trigger the import from your script.

1. Call the Google Apps Script web app URL from your script after you have the data ready for import.
2. Send the formatted data as a POST request to the web app URL.

1. Set up a cron job or use the time-driven triggers in Google Apps Script to regularly run your data retrieval script and update your Google Sheet.

Notes:

• Always ensure that you are complying with TikTok’s API terms of service when accessing and using the data.
• Test your scripts thoroughly to ensure that data is being retrieved and formatted correctly.
• Handle errors and exceptions in your scripts to deal with API rate limits or downtimes.
• Consider data privacy and security when transferring data between services.
