One cut. TikTok and Pinterest. Only the numbers they really return.

My own desk for the lizarv.com storefront launch. One video in, TikTok and Pinterest fields filled side by side, published to both accounts in one action — then read back only what each API actually reports. Not a product, not for sale, no other operators.

Workflow

Three steps, then it repeats
01
Drop the cut in

One vertical video per product moment — restock, unboxing, a detail shot. It lands in the library as a draft until every required field is answered.

02
Answer both rulebooks

TikTok privacy, comments and commercial disclosure on one side; Pinterest board, pin title and destination link on the other. Templates pre-fill what never changes, like the lizarv.com link.

03
Publish and read back

One action posts to both accounts with a per-platform result. Metrics come back separately, in each platform’s own units, and never get averaged together.

Requirements

Two platforms, the strictest two

TikTok and Pinterest are the two that refuse a lazy upload: one demands disclosure and privacy answers on every post, the other demands a board, a destination link and a pin title. The desk covers exactly those fields — nothing more.

Analytics

Two APIs that measure completely different things

TikTok returns four counters and nothing else — no reach, no watch time. Pinterest returns a funnel with no likes at all, where the number that matters is outbound clicks to lizarv.com. There is no honest way to average those into one score, so the desk never tries.

Reported — pulled live from the platform’s own API
Partial — needs extra permissions or an approved app audit

What each one returns
TikTok · Display API v2
view_count · like_count · comment_count · share_count · follower_count
Four counters and a follower total. No reach, no watch time, no demographics on the public API.
Pinterest · API v5 /analytics
IMPRESSION · SAVE · PIN_CLICK · OUTBOUND_CLICK · VIDEO_START
A funnel instead of a popularity score. No likes exist — outbound clicks are the number that pays.

The storefront opens soon. The feed starts now.

Private desk for lizarv.com. One operator, two accounts, no sign-ups.
