How this service works
Call when an agent needs the next 12 UTC times for a 6-field cron expression. Exact $0.002 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/cron-next-6-12 first.
Output
An ordered list of the next 12 UTC datetimes at which the given 6-field cron expression will fire, starting from the specified 'from' datetime (or now if omitted). Results are ISO 8601 UTC timestamps suitable for scheduling, display, or validation.
Example use cases
Validate a deployment cron schedule
“I set up a cron job with the expression '0 2 * * 0 *' to run weekly database backups — can you show me the next 12 times it'll actually run in UTC so I can confirm it's right?”
Debug a skewed task schedule
“My scheduled task uses '15 14 1 * * *' and I think it's misconfigured. Starting from 2024-07-15T00:00:00Z, what are the next 12 UTC times it would trigger?”
Plan around upcoming job executions
“Our data pipeline runs on cron schedule '0 0 * * * *' — give me the next 12 UTC fire times starting now so the team can plan their on-call rotation.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agentshelf.syntexa.ch/v1/cron-next-6-12?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs to resolve a 6-field cron expression into concrete UTC datetimes — for example, to validate a schedule, display upcoming job times to a user, or plan around execution windows. Prefer the free sandbox endpoint (/v1/sandbox/cron-next-6-12) for testing. Choose this paid endpoint for production use when reliability and correctness are required and the $0.002 USDC cost is acceptable.
Side effects
- Invalid cron expression format returns a 400 error
- Malformed or out-of-range 'from' datetime returns a validation error
- Payment of $0.002 USDC not provided or rejected returns 402 Payment Required
- Cron expression with no future occurrences (e.g. past-only range) may return empty or error
- Expression with fewer than 6 fields rejected as invalid
