# schedule

> Schedule for regular crawls.

* **Type**: `string`
* **Default**: `"never"`

Instead of manually starting crawls, set up a schedule for automatic crawls.

For a more visual method of scheduling crawls, use the [visual UI](/doc/tools/crawler/getting-started/crawler-configuration-visual).

The `schedule` parameter uses [Later.js syntax](https://bunkat.github.io/later/) to specify when to crawl your website.
These specifics apply:

* The interval between two scheduled crawls must be at least 24 hours.
* To crawl daily, use `every 1 day` instead of `everyday` or `every day`.
* If you don't specify a time, the crawl can happen anytime during the scheduled day.
* Specify times for the UTC (GMT+0) timezone
* Include minutes when specifying a time. For example, `at 3:00 pm` instead of `at 3pm`.
* Use `at 12:00 am` to specify midnight, not `at 00:00 am`.

## Examples

```js JavaScript icon=code theme={"system"}
{
  schedule: 'every 1 day at 3:00 pm',
}
```
