Is possible to add planned posts to Facebook page via API?

Question

I want to create simple app, console or ASP .NET to create bunch of planned posts to my Facebook Page. I know there are ways to post posts to Facebook Page via apps, but I am not sure if it is possible to create planned posts.

This is just idea, so I just want to learn if there is some automagic to do this, or it is super complicated. I don't want to neither invent wheel again from the scratch or make harakiri workaround if there is no such function in Facebook API (as I never saw that there).

Thanks in regards for hints.

If by "planned posts" you mean scheduled posts where the post is only made public on a given date, then you are probably looking for this. Create a normal post but set scheduled_publish_time to a future date when you want other users to see it.

scheduled_publish_time: Time when this post should go live, this can be any date between ten minutes and six months from the time of the API call.

Once you create scheduled posts, you can retrieve them using /{page-id}/promotable_posts. They do not show up under /{page-id}/feed before they are published.
