info

TikTok Reporting API has some Data Latency, usually of about 11 hours. It is recommended to use higher values of attribution window (used in Incremental Syncs), at least 3 days, to ensure that the connector updates metrics in already presented records.

Report Aggregation

Reports synced by this connector can use either hourly, daily, or lifetime granularities for aggregating performance data. For example, if you select the daily-aggregation flavor of a report, the report will contain a row for each day for the duration of the report. Each row will indicate the number of impressions recorded on that day.

Performance considerations

The connector is restricted by requests limitation. This connector should not run into TikTok Marketing API limitations under normal usage. Please create an issue if you see any rate limit issues that are not automatically retried successfully.
