# Publish Queue

## Publish Queue

When the Content Manager publishes an entry and/or asset, the system puts the action into a [publish queue](https://www.contentstack.com/docs/headless-cms/view-publish-status-of-entries-assets-in-publish-queue). Publish/unpublish activities in this queue are performed one at a time, almost at a high speed. This eliminates the need to wait for an entry to be published before moving on to the next item. You can keep publishing items and let the system manage the queue.

## cancel

The “Cancel Scheduled Action” method allows you to cancel any scheduled publishing or unpublishing activity of entries and/or assets and cancel the deployment of releases.

```
client = contentstack_management.Client(authtoken='your_authtoken')
result = client.stack('api_key').publish_queue().create(data).json()
```

Data you want to send in the request body

## fetch

The fetch method retrieves comprehensive information on a specific publish, unpublish, or delete action performed on an entry and/or asset. You can also retrieve details of a specific release deployment.

```
import contentstack_management
client = contentstack_management.Client(authtoken='your_authtoken')
result = client.stack('api_key').publish_queue('publish_queue_uid').fetch().json()
```

UID of the publish queue

## find

The find method retrieves comprehensive information on activities such as publish, unpublish, and delete performed on entries and/or assets. This request also includes the details of the release deployments in the response body.

```
import contentstack_management
client = contentstack_management.Client(authtoken='your_authtoken')
result = client.stack("api_key").publish_queue().find().json()
```

UID of the publish queue
