# Pickups API overview

<Warning>
  **API v2 is entering maintenance mode.** New users should start with API v3 to access our latest features and improved
  performance. Already using v2? Don't worry, your current integration remains fully functional. Read more about
  [maintenance mode](/docs/getting-started/api-version-guide), or check out the [migration guide for API
  v3](/docs/getting-started/migration-guidelines-for-api-v3).
</Warning>

Scheduling a pickup allows you to have your parcels collected by a driver from a location of your choosing. When scheduling a pickup via the **Pickups API**, the sender address is dynamic, which means that you don't have to have a sender address saved in your Sendcloud account settings.

When you schedule a pickup via the API, you are only able to schedule a **one-time collection**. Depending on your shipping volume you may be able to schedule a recurring pick-up from your preferred location on a weekly or more than weekly basis.

<Note>
  **Tip:** You should schedule your collection **at least 2 working days in advance** to allow for processing time.
</Note>
