How this service works
Parse a common five-field cron expression into a basic plain-language description.
Output
A plain-language string describing when the cron job will run — e.g. 'Every weekday at 9:00 AM' — derived from parsing the five-field cron expression, optionally interpreted in the specified timezone.
Example use cases
Debugging a recurring job schedule
“I have this cron expression '30 6 1 * *' in my config — can you tell me in plain English when exactly this job will run?”
Onboarding team member to cron syntax
“Our deployment pipeline uses '0 0 * * 0' as its schedule — can you describe when that runs in simple language so I can explain it to a non-technical teammate?”
Verifying a cron expression before deploy
“Before I deploy this, can you confirm what '15 14 1 1 *' actually means in plain English? I want to make sure it's not going to fire more often than I expect.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-zoo.lolagent.workers.dev/api/cron-explainWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, lightweight conversion of a standard five-field cron expression into a readable description without setting up a local cron parsing library. Ideal for developer tools, documentation generators, or chat agents where users paste cron strings and need instant human-readable explanations. Not suited for cron expression generation, validation of non-standard formats, or execution scheduling.
Side effects
- Missing or malformed 'expression' query parameter returns an error
- Six-field or non-standard cron expressions (e.g. with seconds or @reboot shorthand) may not be parsed correctly
- Invalid timezone string may produce an error or be silently ignored
- Ambiguous or complex cron expressions may yield overly simplified descriptions
