What is Streamer.bot for TikTok LIVE?
Streamer.bot is a stream automation app that runs on your PC. BetterTok connects to its WebSocket server and runs its actions from your TikTok LIVE events, so what you have already built there can react to TikTok gifts and chat.
The action receives the event's details as arguments: the viewer's username and nickname, the gift and its coins, the comment and any command text. Inside Streamer.bot you read them as usual, such as %username% and %giftName%. You can add arguments of your own on each action too.
BetterTok reaches Streamer.bot from your dashboard or the desktop app, so one of them has to be open while you stream, with Streamer.bot running. Streamer.bot is a separate app you install yourself.
Where Streamer.bot fits
You may not need it for everything. These are built into BetterTok.
Mix it with BetterTok reactions
A Streamer.bot step sits in an action like any other, next to an alert, a sound or a goal change.
Scene switches without it
If all you need is an OBS scene change, BetterTok can talk to OBS directly.
Chat replies without it
Commands, welcomes and thank-yous in your TikTok LIVE chat, from the BetterTok chatbot and its desktop app.
Writing your own tool?
The Developer API streams your TikTok LIVE events to code you write, with no Streamer.bot in between.

More BetterTok integrations
BetterTok also works with a Stream Deck plugin, smart lights and plugs, Voicemod, OBS control and Spotify and Apple Music song requests. Lights, Voicemod, OBS and Streamer.bot can all be steps of one Actions & Events rule, so a single gift can set off all of them.
Streamer.bot for TikTok LIVE: FAQ
Is the Streamer.bot connection free on BetterTok?
Yes. A Streamer.bot step is part of an action, and a free account has 5 Actions & Events. The Creator plan ($9.99 a month) removes that limit. Streamer.bot itself is a separate app.
Do I need the desktop app to use Streamer.bot with TikTok LIVE?
No. The web dashboard can connect as long as it stays open in Chrome, Edge or Firefox. The desktop app works too.
Which TikTok LIVE events can run a Streamer.bot action?
Anything that can trigger an action in BetterTok: gifts, follows, shares, likes, comments, chat keywords, subscriptions, battles, polls and more. A Stream Deck key does not run the Streamer.bot step of an action.
What does Streamer.bot receive when someone sends a TikTok gift?
The viewer's username and nickname, plus giftName, giftId, coins and repeatCount, along with any custom arguments you added to the action.
Does BetterTok need a password for Streamer.bot?
Only if you set one on Streamer.bot's WebSocket server. Enter the same password in the Streamer.bot panel in BetterTok.
What if I rebuild or re-import my Streamer.bot actions?
BetterTok saves the action's name along with its ID, so an action that got a new ID when you re-imported it is still found by its name.
