Creating Developer account on X

[[ We plan to use the Twitter 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:

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 us.

We got acquainted with "Automation rules" and "Twitter Rules". ]]
