Key Fields

• state Must be set to "scheduled" for future publishing.

• accounts[].scheduled_at ISO 8601 timestamp (with Z or offset) specifying when to publish.

• networks Per-platform content configuration (e.g., facebook, twitter, linkedin).

Important Considerations

Time Formats

• Use full ISO 8601 format, including timezone (e.g., 2025-06-01T09:00:00+02:00).

• Timestamps must be at least 1 minute in the future.

Best Practices

• Buffer Time: Space posts 1–2 minutes apart to avoid collisions.

• Timezone Awareness: Schedule using your audience’s local time.

• Batch Scheduling: Combine related posts in a single request for efficiency.

• Verify: Poll /api/v1/job_status/{job_id} to confirm scheduling success.
