# Schedule a payment directly (ALPHA)

> > **Alpha** — early access.

Creates one or more scheduled payments for a signer WITHOUT the proposal flow — schedule directly under an existing active mandate (coverage is matched at fire time, so no new signature is needed here). The payments bind the given signer and funding wallet. The signer must be permitted to spend on that wallet, the wallet must belong to the calling client, and the destination must be a crypto destination of the wallet's customer. The schedule is explicit `dates` (one payment per timestamp) OR `count` × `interval_seconds` from `start_at` (0 ⇒ now); dates are unix SECONDS and are rejected if in the past or implausibly far ahead. Whether a mandate covers each payment is decided at fire time by the money-path gate — a scheduled payment with no covering active mandate fails at fire, it is not rejected here.




## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.yaml post /scheduled-payments
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Dakota Platform API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Combined API specification for Dakota Platform services:

    - Issuance API: Asset minting and burning operations

    - Onboarding API: Know Your Business/Customer verification

    - On/Off Ramp API: Managing on-ramp and off-ramp accounts

    - Recipients API: Managing destinations for KYB'd entities

    - Transactions API: Viewing transaction history across platform operations


    ## Authentication and API Headers


    All API endpoints require the following headers:


    - `x-idempotency-key`: Required for all POST endpoints to ensure request
    idempotency

    - `x-api-key`: Required for authentication across all endpoints


    Note: On /applications endpoints you need a token for authentication instead
    of a x-api-key

    - `x-application-token`: Required for authentication on public /applications
    endpoints (alternative to `x-api-key` where documented)



    ## Rate Limits


    Requests are rate limited per API key. Every response includes the following
    headers:


    | Header | Description |

    | --- | --- |

    | `X-RateLimit-Limit` | Maximum requests allowed in the current one-minute
    window. |

    | `X-RateLimit-Remaining` | Requests remaining in the current window. |

    | `X-RateLimit-Reset` | Absolute Unix timestamp (seconds since epoch) when
    the current rate-limit window resets. |


    When a request is throttled (`429`), responses also include `Retry-After`
    with seconds to wait before retrying.
