Empire Distributor
Social media scheduler API checklist
A useful scheduling API needs a clear lifecycle: validate media, create a draft, obtain approval, schedule, and read delivery status.
Practical next step
Treat timeouts as unknown outcomes until reconciled. Retrying a publish call blindly can duplicate a post; retain client request IDs and provider post IDs.
