Can you schedule X Articles?
Not with X itself. The native Article composer only offers Publish now, with no way to pick a future time. To schedule an Article, you use a tool that holds your X connection and publishes for you.
OpenTweet is a Twitter/X scheduler and posting API. Write your Article in markdown, choose a date and time, and OpenTweet converts it to X's Article format and publishes automatically through the official X API.
How to schedule an X Article
Write the Article in markdown
In OpenTweet, open Articles and start a new one. Use headings, bold, lists, quotes, links, and images, or paste markdown from your notes, blog, or an AI agent. A live preview shows the formatted result.
Pick a date and time
Set when the Article should go live. Times are in your local timezone and converted automatically. Confirm the publishing account has X Premium.
Let it publish, or use the API
At the scheduled time, OpenTweet publishes the Article for you. Prefer code? One request schedules it, and the same endpoints work for AI agents through the MCP server.
curl -X POST https://opentweet.io/api/v1/articles \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ot_your_api_key" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"title":"...","content_markdown":"# ...","scheduled_date":"2026-08-15T14:00:00Z"}'Native X editor vs OpenTweet
Frequently asked questions
Can you schedule X Articles natively?
No. The native X Article composer only has a Publish now option. There is no field to pick a future date or time, so you cannot queue an Article from X itself.
How do you schedule an X Article then?
You use a tool that holds your X connection and publishes on your behalf. In OpenTweet you write the article in markdown, pick a date and time, and at that moment OpenTweet converts it to X's Article format and publishes through the official X API.
Do I still need X Premium?
Yes. Publishing Articles requires a Premium subscription on the X account. Any Premium tier works since January 2026. Scheduling in OpenTweet is available on any paid plan.
Can I schedule an Article from the API or an AI agent?
Yes. POST to /api/v1/articles with a title, a markdown body, and a scheduled_date. The same endpoints power the OpenTweet MCP server, so Claude and other agents can draft and schedule Articles too.
Can I edit or cancel a scheduled Article?
Yes. Scheduled Articles stay editable until they publish. You can change the time, unschedule back to draft, or publish immediately.
