TikTok Minis API: Get Menu Button Layout

Executive Signal Summary

TikTok for Developers documents a Mini Games (TTMinis) SDK UI API — TTMinis.game.getMenuButtonBoundingClientRect — that returns the layout position of the mini-game menu (capsule) button in pixels. The API is intended for HTML-runtime mini games and provides width, height, top, right, bottom and left coordinates measured from the screen's top-left corner. The doc includes the return-value schema and a JavaScript usage example (const res = TTMinis.game.getMenuButtonBoundingClientRect()). This API helps developers align in-game navigation controls with the host app UI.

High Confidence

Developer reference for a TikTok Mini Games SDK UI API; useful to Minis developers aligning UI in HTML runtime but not industry-shifting.

TikTok Minis SDK: Render and Canvas APIs

TikTok published a Dining SaaS developer guide with comprehensive Java and Go sample code for the TikTok Go Dining (TTLS) merchant APIs. The documentation covers authentication (token and refresh flows via POST https://open.tiktokapis.com/merchant/oauth/token/), shop management (POI claiming, certification upload, decoration, basic info updates), product management (create/update, free-audit updates, delist, batch queries, category and shop queries), voucher redemption (query and redeem endpoints), task/product/after-sale webhooks with event names and payload structures, and implementation notes on retries and idempotency. The page complements prior Go Dining docs that described the voucher redemption workflow, relevant endpoints (e.g., /v2/localservice/saas/fulfill/get_code_item_list/ and /redeem_code/), and operational guidance such as rate and error-handling considerations for integrators.

TikTok Minis SDK Basic Utility Documentation

TikTok's developer documentation page describes the Minis SDK basic utility APIs and the broader developer product surface. It lists integration resources (Mobile SDKs for iOS/Android, Server APIs, Webhooks), developer kits (Login Kit, Share Kit, Display API), content and commerce APIs (Content Posting API, Commercial Content API, Monetization, Data Portability API), and Minis-specific tooling for Mini Games and Mini Dramas. The page documents core Minis utility calls: TTMinis.init (requires a clientKey and must be called before other SDK methods), TTMinis.canIUse (a granular runtime API compatibility checker), and env runtime fields (e.g., USER_DATA_PATH). The docs are published on TikTok’s Developers site and present examples, parameter definitions, and links to related guides and changelogs.
