How this service works
A curated directory of x402 services — each one on the list on purpose, with the health, uptime, and independent trust grades from across the ecosystem gathered in one place.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing an array of upcoming run timestamps (next_runs) and a human-readable string description of the cron schedule (e.g. 'every 15 minutes'), allowing developers and agents to verify and communicate scheduled task timing.
Example use cases
Debug an existing cron job
“I have this cron expression '0 9 * * 1-5' — can you tell me when it will next fire and describe what schedule that represents in plain English?”
Plan a recurring automation trigger
“I want to run a cleanup job every day at midnight UTC using the cron expression '0 0 * * *' — show me the next 3 scheduled run times so I can confirm the timing is right.”
Verify a complex cron schedule
“Can you parse '30 8 1 * *' and tell me when the next few executions will happen? I want to make sure it only runs on the first of each month at 8:30am.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.24klabs.ai/api/cron-parserWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically interpret or validate a cron string, compute its next execution times, or translate it into a human-readable description — especially in automated pipelines, scheduling UIs, or when confirming task timing without running a local cron parser.
Side effects
- Invalid cron expression returns an error indicating the syntax is malformed
- Missing cron expression field returns a 400-level error
- Unusual cron syntax (e.g. non-standard 6-field with seconds) may not be supported and returns an error
- Very distant future schedules or extreme repetition counts may cause timeouts
