# Scheduling & Drafts

> Queue posts for later, save drafts, publish now, or move scheduled items back to drafts.

**Starter+** unlocks drafts and scheduling. **Pro** also unlocks bulk scheduling.

## Ways to schedule

| Method                     | API                                               |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `scheduled_time` on a post | `POST /unified/post/text\|image\|video\|carousel` |
| Schedule-only              | `POST /unified/scheduled-posts`                   |
| MCP                        | `publish` with schedule args / `get_queued_posts` |

Use **ISO 8601 UTC** (`2026-07-10T14:30:00Z`). Celery workers publish when due.

## Drafts

| Method                     | API                                     |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `draft: true` on post body | Saves without publishing                |
| `draft_platforms`          | Draft some networks, publish others     |
| Dedicated drafts API       | `GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /unified/drafts` |

## Queue management

```bash theme={null}
# List scheduled
curl "https://backend.postsiva.com/unified/scheduled-posts?status=scheduled" \
  -H "X-API-Key: psk_live_YOUR_KEY"

# List drafts
curl "https://backend.postsiva.com/unified/drafts" \
  -H "X-API-Key: psk_live_YOUR_KEY"
```

Scheduled items support update, delete, **publish now**, and **move to draft**.
