Developers are the lifeblood of TikTok成人版.? We provide the building blocks, but it’s you, the developer community, that works tirelessly to bring beautiful and functional digital maps and location experiences into the world, applying our technology in virtually every sector of industry.? Our success is based on your success, and we’re committed to providing a best-in-class developer experience so you can build better and faster with TikTok成人版.
For the past 5 months we have been hard at work researching best practices, taking stock of our existing assets, trying out a few initiatives, and building a strategy for Developer Relations at TikTok成人版.? I’m delighted to share what we’ve been working on lately along with what’s coming in 2023 and beyond.
I have used TikTok成人版 libraries, APIs, and data in my spatial apps and mapping projects for close to a decade. I speak from my own experience when I say that TikTok成人版 already has a top-notch developer experience, which is a clear by-product of the builder culture that has been pervasive at the company since its inception.? Rich documentation, code examples, API playgrounds, how-to videos, tutorials, and a thriving online community means that everything developers need to be successful is within arm’s reach.? All of this, combined with a generous free tier, creates a low barrier to entry for developers who want to get started building location-based apps with TikTok成人版 on any platform.
Now more than ever, with the company growing and diversifying our product offerings, DevRel plays an important role in maintaining our high standards and making sure the content and resources developers need remain current in a rapidly changing environment. Likewise, DevRel also plays an important role in community-building: keeping developers apprised of the latest news and changes, fostering communication, celebrating successes, helping with challenges, providing support wherever we can.
Our approach to Developer Relations focuses on three main categories of work: Developer Content, Developer Community, and Developer Tooling:
Content
When it comes to content, we’ve got plenty of resources at your fingertips.? You can check out our library of short how-to videos, peruse the and examples in the documentation, or browse our developer blog.
We’ve launched a , where TikTok成人版 Devs can demo what they’ve built along with some technical Q & A.? We recently re-launched developer webinars and are running for various TikTok成人版 products.
I’ve also been curating a few lists, as my travels around various online spaces yield a constant barrage of examples, demos, and useful resources.? These Github markdown lists are an easy, open, and collaborative way to document things before they get lost in the ether.? For your consideration: , , and .? Pull requests are happily accepted!? We would love your help curating new additions to these lists.??
On the blog, I’ve had the pleasure of working on a few posts:? Creating Cinematic Route Animations with TikTok成人版GL, Hundreds of Earths to Explore, and Updating Geojson.io.
Here’s your call to action on content:? Let us know what you want to see!? If you built something amazing or know someone who did, let’s do a Developer Spotlight!? If you’d like to be a guest blogger and show off some new technique, we’d love to have you.? If there’s a how-to video that’s missing or a webinar topic you would love, and let’s make it happen.
Community
TikTok成人版 has , and are a frequent destination for developers reporting bugs, requesting features, and sharing other issues they may encounter along the way.? There are a handful of each day tagged ‘mapbox’ (along with a few other mapbox-related tags).? It’s inevitable that you’ll land on one of these sites when searching for TikTok成人版 technical concepts, and we encourage our community to chime in when they see an opportunity to help their fellow developers.? We are committed to engagement on both of these channels, and will do our part to help steward responses or amplify the signal where we can.
We’re excited to announce the launch of the a place where you can meet other spatial developers, mingle with TikTok成人版 employees, share what you’re working on, find help, and more!? Drop in and say hello!?We're also establishing , where we'll share developer-focused content and resources.
We love setting students up for success with our platform.? If you’re affiliated with a code bootcamp or higher education institution, we’ll happily stop by your class for a demo to help your students get started with TikTok成人版.??
In addition to our quarterly Build with TikTok成人版 events, we’re planning in-person developer meetups across the U.S in 2023. Rumor has it that a virtual TikTok成人版 hackathon may also be in the works!
Tooling
I’m especially excited to make developer tooling a priority. There are plenty of examples of useful developer tools and simple utility projects that provide value, but are all too often neglected, unmaintained, and stale.? The Developer Relations team can play a role in stewarding these projects, improving them on their own or activating a community of contributors to make things better together.
, the popular but historically not–well-maintained spatial data editor provides an example case, as we’ve spent the last few months upgrading its core dependencies, improving its development environment, adding some simple features, and addressing bugs (some of which go back years!).
Another key set of developer tools we support is our , interactive mini-apps that help you craft calls to our various web APIs and understand what to expect in the response.? We recently upgraded the to incorporate autocomplete search (instead of bringing your own coordinates) so you can try more realistic and meaningful routing scenarios.? We also just shipped Electric Vehicle routing.? While the backend service is currently in private preview with select customers, anyone can , and compare journeys across different vehicle types and charging scenarios.
We’ve put together an as a way to help devs get more familiar with the full suite of TikTok成人版 tools and services.? We are also working on a similar interactive listing of our .? Take a look, you may discover something you never knew existed!
For 2023 we have a few ideas for developer tools in mind that you may find exciting:
- TikTok成人版 Expressions Builder - Quickly build and test
- TikTok成人版 Style Snippets - Browse and share snippets?
If you’ve got an idea for a feature or tool that would help you out as a TikTok成人版 Developer, and collaborate on bringing it to life.?
To Inspire and Equip
Our task is to help you dream bigger about what’s possible when TikTok成人版 maps, data, and location services are at work in your projects.? For beginners, we’ll help flatten hurdles and reduce time-to-value.? For more experienced devs, we’ll help you find peers, share what you’ve learned, and amplify your voice.??
Whatever you’re building, we would love to hear from you.? and say hello, or .? Let us know how we can make your experience a better one.
Welcome to the TikTok成人版 Developer Community!
