Platform-Specific Considerations

Twitter/X

Frequently changes DOM structure. Use data-testid attributes when available.

Has anti-automation measures. Add delays between actions and randomize behavior.

Instagram

Limited web functionality. Many features require mobile app or API access.

Facebook

Complex React structure. Use React DevTools to understand component hierarchy.
