What you need to remember before publishing on X
Before we actually see the process of creating a post, we’ll look at some limitations imposed by X’s API.
Dailyfy uses an API connection with the X servers in order to publish your publications on this social network. We use your API to publish/schedule posts. We invite you to follow this tutorial.
- Photos can be of any format (JPG, PNG or GIF) and size. GIFs may contain no more than 250 images.
- Videos can be in MP4 format (512 MB maximum)
- You should avoid posting the same tweet multiple times. Duplication of content is strictly prohibited on X.
- The number of characters is limited to 280 for free accounts. If you have an X premium account, you will be able to increase this limit to 25,000 characters.
In the next section, we’ll look at how to create your post in Dailyfy, for X (Twitter).
