01 / OFFICIAL APIConnect through a documented platform interface
An official API exposes defined actions and permissions for applications. The integration can be authorized, monitored and revoked without pretending to be a person clicking through the consumer interface.
- Explicit permissions
- Structured requests
- Clearer operational boundaries
02 / BROWSER AUTOMATIONUI imitation inherits the fragility of the interface
Browser automation depends on page structure, sessions and interaction patterns intended for people. Interface changes, authentication prompts and anti-abuse controls can interrupt a workflow that relies on simulated clicks.
- Sensitive to UI changes
- Session-dependent
- Harder to operate transparently
03 / DECISIONChoose the foundation that matches a durable product
ThreadsFlow uses the official Meta API because the product is intended to be a controlled operating system, not a temporary collection of browser scripts. Platform limits and policies still need ongoing attention.
- Official publishing layer
- Self-hosted intelligence workflow
- Adaptable to API changes
