Use cases description:

We plan to use the X API for the following purposes:
- Schedule tweets
- Engagement with users (Reply, Like, Retweet + Quote)
- Extract profile metrics from connected accounts
- Extract posts with their metrics from connected accounts

We will display graphics like:
- Increasing the number of followers for each day of the last 3 months
- The number of likes, retweets, comments, profile clicks, and link clicks for each day of the last 3 months
- ..etc.

The accounts that we are going to connect to the application (oAuth) with the Twitter API belong to us and are managed by our team.

We got acquainted with "Automation rules" and "X Rules".
