# API scheduled scripts

If you are not familiar with APIs we recommend reading up on [introduction-to-apis](https://splootcode.gitbook.io/api-scheduled-apps/application-programming-interfaces-apis/introduction-to-apis "mention") before getting started.

API scheduled scripts are one of the types of projects you can build with SplootCode.

In a nutshell, they are programs that get triggered at a certain time, with a certain cadence – for example, everyday at 2:00pm.

The job of the program can be any job you want it to be! We have built many example apps so to get you started.
