+# Ready-to-go Python scripts for Archicad
+
+[Download version 25.2](https://github.com/tlorantfy/archicad-python-scripts/archive/refs/tags/25.2.zip)
+
+## recurring_publish.py
+
+### Description
+The script can schedule recurring publishing.  
+The related Archicad project must be opened before executing the script, because the script retrieves the projectdata during the start-up of the script.
+
+### Requirements
+* **Requires Archicad 25 or later.**
+* [Additional JSON/Python Commands Add-On](https://github.com/tlorantfy/archicad-additional-json-commands) (version 25.2 or later) is required to be loaded into Archicad.
+  * [Download the Add-On for Windows](https://github.com/tlorantfy/archicad-additional-json-commands/releases/download/25.2/archicad-additional-json-commands.apx)
+  * [Download the Add-On for macOS](https://github.com/tlorantfy/archicad-additional-json-commands/releases/download/25.2/archicad-additional-json-commands.bundle.zip)
+
+### Features
+
+* Archicad will be shut down after each publishing and it will be restarted before each publishing, the project will be reloaded automatically.
+* User can choose from the Publisher Sets. Only the selected sets will be published. Multiple choice is available.
+* Recur time can be set in minutes.
+* Continuous progress report, the remaining time till the next publishing countdown appears.
+* Works for Teamwork (BIMcloud) projects also. A receive command is executed before each publishing.
+
+### Usage
+
