Best Practices

File Handling

Cache locally to avoid repeated API calls. Check encoding before processing. Handle failures gracefully as external sources may become unavailable. Respect rate limits and sanitize content before display.

Security Considerations

Validate downloaded content is safe. Restrict file access to authorized users. Handle academic content responsibly. Track file access for audit purposes and remove temporary files after processing.

Next Steps

Detailed Analysis

Use downloaded files for side-by-side comparison and detailed investigation.
