adscapi vs TikTok Business API SDK

Official platform SDKs

TikTok's official Business API SDK — Events API and broader business endpoints for TikTok only.

What TikTok Business API SDK is

TikTok publishes official Business API SDKs for server-side events and other ads/business operations. Like Meta's SDK, it is the authoritative client for one network. You map your conversion model into TikTok's Events API fields and maintain that integration separately from every other platform.

Side by side

Dimension	adscapi	TikTok Business API SDK
Platforms	26+ ad platforms from one event	TikTok only
Scope	Conversions + audiences fan-out	TikTok Business / Events API surface
Billing model	Free / OSS (MIT)	Free SDK; TikTok ads spend is separate
Event model	One canonical event → many platforms	TikTok native event payload
Maintenance	One library for every destination	Grows linearly with each new network
When it shines	Same code path across networks	Deep TikTok-only work

Billing is described by model only — check each vendor for current prices. adscapi is MIT-licensed open source; you bring your own platform tokens.

When each fits

When TikTok Business API SDK wins

Reach for it when these are true.

TikTok is your only server-side destination.
You need TikTok Business API features beyond a shared conversion event.
First-party SDK support and examples from TikTok matter more than multi-network parity.

When adscapi fits better

Defensible differences, not hype.

Purchases and leads must hit TikTok and other CAPIs from one call.
You want shared consent, hashing, and identity handling across platforms.
Adding the next ad network should not mean another official SDK project.

Ready to fire one event to every ad platform?

adscapi is free and open source. Set your platform tokens, call track() once, and every configured Conversions API receives the event — hashed the way each platform expects.
