### Best Practices

#### Content Optimization

* Test each format on a single account before scaling.
* Use network-specific overrides to tailor text length, captions, and metadata.
* Always provide `alt_text` for images to enhance accessibility.
* Follow each platform’s style and character limits for optimal engagement.

#### Technical Considerations

* Preprocess media (resize, compress) before upload to meet platform requirements.
* Verify media upload success before referencing media IDs in your post payload.
* Review provider documentation for specific limits (e.g., LinkedIn document size, TikTok clip length).
* Poll the job status endpoint to ensure the content was processed and published without errors.
