How this service works
Cron expression evaluator: the next 10 run times in UTC for a standard 5-field expression (ranges, steps, lists, names like MON/JAN, */5), a plain-English description, and the interval between runs. Optional start time after a pipe. Validate schedules before deploying. $0.01 per expression.
Output
Returns the next 10 UTC run timestamps for the given cron expression, a human-readable description of the schedule (e.g. 'Every weekday at 9:00 AM'), and the interval duration between consecutive runs. Optionally accepts a custom start time after a pipe character to compute runs relative to a specific point in time.
Example use cases
Validate cron before deployment
“Before I deploy this scheduled job, can you check that '*/15 6-22 * * *' is a valid cron expression and show me the next 10 times it would fire in UTC?”
Debug unexpected schedule frequency
“My cron job set to '0 0 1 */3 *' seems to be running more often than I expected — can you evaluate the expression and tell me the next 10 run times and the interval between them?”
Translate cron to plain English
“Can you translate the cron expression '30 8 * * 1,3,5' into plain English and show me the next 10 scheduled times starting from now?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://intel.rallylive.ca/dev/cron-nextWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to quickly validate or preview a cron schedule before deploying, when you want a human-readable explanation of what a cron expression does, or when you need to compute precise future run times from a custom start time. It supports standard 5-field cron syntax including ranges, steps, lists, and named values (MON/JAN etc.), making it suitable for most Unix/Linux cron use cases.
Side effects
- Invalid cron expression syntax returns an error
- Unsupported 6-field expressions (with seconds) may not parse correctly
- Malformed start time after pipe causes parsing failure
- Network timeout for the $0.01 x402 payment flow
- Empty or missing input query parameter returns an error
