Webcron API

Cron job API for automated scheduling

Legacy API pages still receive impressions. This page connects that technical intent to the current product: managing cron jobs without using the interface.

Programmatic creation

Add or update cron jobs from internal tools, pipelines or SaaS platforms.

Execution tracking

Retrieve execution data to connect Webcron with your dashboards and internal alerts.

Online cron service

The API uses the same engine as the online cron page: URL, frequency, timezone, logs and alerts.

API workflow

POST

Create a cron job

GET

Read execution logs

PATCH

Update schedule state

Automate cron job management with an API

A cron job API becomes useful when schedules must be created or updated by another system. A SaaS platform can provision tasks for every customer, an internal tool can enable a job when a project is created, or a CI/CD integration can adjust frequency after a deployment.

The value is not limited to creating jobs. An API can also expose state, execution history and monitoring data, connecting Webcron with internal dashboards. Teams keep one shared source of truth between the interface, logs and their own tools.

For multi-customer products, this avoids repetitive manual operations. Scheduling becomes reproducible, auditable and easier to integrate into existing workflows.
