Is there a way to schedule a Python Script from Splunk?

I currently have a Python script calling an API and returning the results to Splunk. I can use the `|script` command in Splunk and the Python script works as expected. I have a dashboard built on the underlying data, which is pretty small in volume. Is there a way to schedule this script to be called within Splunk? Is the saved search the best way to go about calling the `|script` command?
