# The next free posting slot for a project

> The next free slot from the project's posting-time template
(fallback: 09:00 on the first open day when no template is
configured, or when nothing in the template is free). Same
computation the dashboard and the chat's scheduling proposal use.

**Free** means no post is already scheduled at that exact minute
and nothing else on the calendar reserves that day — so after you
schedule something into the returned slot, calling this again
returns the NEXT one. That is how several posts get spread out;
before 2026-08 the no-template branch skipped the occupancy check
entirely and answered the same instant every time.

Requires the `calendar:read` scope.

  title: Scripe Public API
  version: '2026-08-10'
  summary: >-
    Read and write Scripe workspace data — posts, notes, ideas, sources,
    knowledge, media, analytics, usage, async jobs, and webhooks.
  description: |
    The Scripe public API gives integrators stable, versioned access to a
    workspace's content surface: reads across every resource, synchronous
    writes (notes, posts, ideas, text sources, media assets), async jobs
    (post generation, file/URL/YouTube ingest, image and carousel
    generation), usage meters, and outbound webhooks.

    All endpoints (except `/v1/health`) require a Bearer token — either a
    workspace API key (`scripe_sk_*`) or an OAuth 2.1 access token
    (`scripe_oat_*`). Pin the API version with the `Scripe-Api-Version`
    request header to opt out of breaking changes.

      `Webhook-Signature: t=<ts>,v1=<hmac>` header on every delivery.

        are scoped to a single workspace and can be revoked from the
        Scripe dashboard.

        The same header also accepts an OAuth 2.1 access token
        (`scripe_oat_*`); both credentials share one scope vocabulary
        and every operation below documents the scope it requires.
        An API key can hold every scope named on this surface except
        `webhooks:manage`, which is grantable to OAuth tokens only
        today — the webhook-endpoint operations answer
        `403 scope_missing` to every API key. Operations that name no
        scope accept any valid token of the workspace.
