  "status": "published",
  "publicUrl": "https://x.com/user/status/123456"

  "status": "failed",
  "errorMessage": "Unsupported media type"
}

  "status": "in-progress"
}

Response Keys

Field	Type	Description
postSubmissionId	string	The post submission ID.
status	string	One of: in-progress, published, failed.
publicUrl	string	The live URL of the published post. Present when status is published.
errorMessage	string	Description of the failure. Present when status is failed.

Polling Strategy

1. Poll every 2 seconds after submitting a post.

2. Continue while status is in-progress.

3. Stop when status is published (success) or failed (error).

4. Do not retry on failed -- most failures are permanent. Check errorMessage for details.
