Consider implementing: - **Concurrent requests** for better performance - **Progress tracking** for large batches - **Error retry logic** for failed operations ### Integration Patterns - **CLI Tools**: Build command-line interfaces using the API - **Web Applications**: Integrate encryption into existing apps - **Mobile Apps**: Use the API for mobile encryption needs - **Automation Scripts**: Automate encryption workflows ### Performance Considerations - **File Size Limits**: Check instance-specific upload limits - **Rate Limiting**: Respect API rate limits if implemented - **Caching**: Cache algorithm information to reduce API calls - **Connection Pooling**: Reuse HTTP connections for multiple requests --- *For more information, see the main [README.md](README.md) or visit the [official instance](https://paccrypt.unnaturalll.dev).*
