💻 Programmatic Usage

import { XSafePost } from 'x-safe-post';

const client = new XSafePost({
  credentials: {
    appKey: 'YOUR_APP_KEY',
    appSecret: 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
    accessToken: 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    accessSecret: 'YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET',
  },
  safety: {
    minIntervalMinutes: 30,
    maxPostsPerDay: 8,
    enableJitter: true,
    maxJitterMinutes: 30,
    quietHoursStart: 23,
    quietHoursEnd: 6,
  },
});

// Post with safety checks
const result = await client.post({ text: 'Hello from the API!' });

if (result.success) {
  console.log(`Posted! Tweet ID: ${result.tweetId}`);
} else if (result.delayed) {
  console.log(`Delayed until: ${result.scheduledFor}`);
} else if (result.blocked) {
  console.log(`Blocked: ${result.blockReason}`);
}

// Post and wait if delayed
const result2 = await client.postAndWait({ text: 'This will wait if needed' });

// Check content safety before posting
const safety = await client.checkSafety('My tweet with #too #many #hashtags');
console.log(safety.warnings); // ['Too many hashtags (3) - recommend max 2-3']

// Check for shadowban
const shadowban = await client.checkShadowban();
if (shadowban.likely) {
  console.log('Possible shadowban detected!');
}

// Get next safe posting time
const nextTime = client.getNextPostTime();
console.log(`Next safe time: ${nextTime}`);

// Get stats
const stats = client.getStats();
console.log(`Posts today: ${stats.todayPosts}/${stats.maxDailyPosts}`);

⏰ Cron Integration

Basic Cron Job

# Post every 4 hours with random jitter
0 */4 * * * npx x-safe-post post "$(cat /path/to/tweets.txt | shuf -n 1)"

Smart Cron (Check Time First)

#!/bin/bash
# smart-post.sh

NEXT_TIME=$(x-safe-post next-time --unix)
NOW=$(date +%s)

if [ $NOW -ge $NEXT_TIME ]; then
  x-safe-post post "$1"
else
  echo "Not yet safe to post. Next: $(x-safe-post next-time)"
fi

With Queue (Node.js)

import { XSafePost } from 'x-safe-post';
import { CronJob } from 'cron';

const client = new XSafePost({ /* config */ });
const queue: string[] = [
  'Tweet 1',
  'Tweet 2',
  'Tweet 3',
];

// Run every hour, but tool handles actual timing
new CronJob('0 * * * *', async () => {
  if (queue.length === 0) return;
  
  const text = queue.shift()!;
  const result = await client.postAndWait({ text });
  
  if (result.success) {
    console.log(`Posted: ${text}`);
  }
}, null, true);
