Tiktok Warmup - Python script automation and shadowban

Im currently trying to farm 5 different tiktok account
I want to create fake tiktok accounts in different niche (manicure, faceless lifestyle etc) that seems super legit, the goal is to make them comment tiktok videos with python script.
But 4 of them are now shadowban (they were not when purchased).

Here's what i did :

=> I bought account in *** created in US (not sure if it's true).
=> Bought proxy (Datacenter). I know these are not the best but i wanted to know if that was enough.
=> Made python script (claude code) that only scroll like a human everyday for like 10 to 20mn.
=> Made a python script (claude code) that will scrap tiktok video from real account (each fake tiktok account is linked to a real tiktok account) every day. Then i use Zapier to upload videos via Buffer on the fake accounts.
=> Made a Python script that will comment specific url (but i never used it as i wanted the accounts to be legit before).
=> Bought a VPS with AdsPower and the 5 profil (1 profil = 1 proxy) so the python script will scroll with these profile in the VPS.

Note: I have setup the fifth account at the end. So i did not use any script or video uploading with it. I tried commenting and it was visible (private navigation). Then i launched the python scroll script and tried commenting the next day, and everything was good.
For all the accounts i posted like 1-2 days after scrolling with the script.

I've some questions.

1. Is it a redflag if an account keep posting but never connected with a smartphone? Because posting is with an API (Buffer) and only scrolling with a PC
2. Do you think using a datacenter IP is ok? Or must i buy a 4g proxy ip?
3. Have you ever used similar script to farm account, scroll or anything else and know somethings that can flag the accounts?
4. Do you know any services that can do the same? Either for the setup or actual account that seems legit and can send custom comments?
5. Any tips or recommandations?

Regards,

The redflag is indeed that you use browser + API instead of mobile. Also datacenter IP is not good. You should use residential proxy at least.

So my advise will be (and this is how we do it in my company):
1. Use mobile, better iPhone, better 12+ and without jailbreak
2. Real SIM or at least residential proxies
3. Switch IPs between accounts!
4. For managing multiple accounts you can use containerization. It’s free, you just need to know how to do it
5. Connect iPhones to some controlling hardware that allows remote control, such as nomix clickers, hire a VA for manual remote control
6. Add simple scripts for repetitive stuff like warmups and posting. Better start with a VA, fully manual, and only then write some automation. You can use clicker api for example to keep it human-like. Do this when you see the progress and decide to scale and cut the costs.

Your comment is pure gold

So using only PC + API for posting is a redflag. I guess i'll need to switch to mobile

Your setup has 3 red flags that TikTok catches instantly.

- Browser environment instead of native app -TikTok fingerprints the upload source. Zapier/Buffer upload through API, not through the app. TikTok treats these videos differently.
- Datacenter proxies - dead giveaway. Residential minimum, mobile 4G ideal.
- Python warmup through browser automation - even with human-like scrolling, the browser fingerprint itself is the problem. TikTok doesn't just look at behavior, it looks at where the behavior comes from.

The guy above nailed it — real iPhones, native app, no jailbreak. That's the only setup where TikTok fully trusts the device.

I run 40+ accounts this way. Built a tool called CLOUT Publisher that automates warmup and posting through the actual TikTok app on real iPhones - scrolling, liking, watching, uploading, all through the native UI. TikTok sees a normal user on a normal phone. Account survival 85%+ over 30 days vs the ~20% you're getting now.

Clearly, the data centre proxy must not have been helpful in avoiding the shadowban
