Developer & API Terms of Use

This document outlines the technical standards, authentication architecture, rate-limit policies, and platform compliance guidelines governing WBP Social Command Center's integration with third-party social media APIs.

Developer Integration Standards & Principles

WBP Social Command Center is engineered with enterprise security, strict privilege separation, and respectful API consumption patterns. We strictly utilize official, documented REST/GraphQL endpoints provided by each platform and never employ unofficial scraping, reverse-engineered private APIs, or credential interception.

1. Authentication & OAuth 2.0 Architecture

All integrations with external social media networks operate under the following security protocols:

  • Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE): Whenever supported by the platform, OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code grant is augmented with PKCE to prevent authorization code interception attacks.
  • State Parameter & CSRF Defense: Every OAuth initiation generates an unguessable cryptographic state token, validated upon callback to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery.
  • Principle of Least Privilege: We request only the minimal scopes strictly necessary to execute the features selected by the user (e.g., publishing to specific pages, reading analytics). We do not request full account ownership or broad personal messaging permissions.
  • Encrypted Credential Storage: Access and refresh tokens are stored in private database tables with Row-Level Security (RLS) and encrypted at rest using AES-256.

2. Platform-by-Platform API Scopes & Purpose

3. Rate Limiting, Throttling & Retry Backoff

To prevent platform overload and protect our shared API quota, WBP Social Command Center implements strict client-side and server-side rate limits:

  • Exponential Backoff with Jitter: In the event of 429 (Too Many Requests) or 5xx server responses from a social platform API, our queue workers automatically back off exponentially with randomized jitter to prevent thundering herd problems.
  • Header Inspection: We monitor platform rate limit headers (such as `X-RateLimit-Remaining` or Meta's `X-Business-Use-Case-Usage`) and proactively pause subsequent requests before quotas are exhausted.
  • Fair-Share Workspace Queues: Workspaces have throttled publishing slots ensuring no individual user can monopolize third-party API capacity.

4. Webhook Security & Real-Time Updates

Where supported (such as Meta Webhooks for Instagram comments or user data deletion notices), our ingress endpoints verify HMAC SHA-256 signatures generated with shared app secrets before processing any event payload. Unsigned or invalid requests are rejected immediately with HTTP 401 Unauthorized.
