How this service works
Convert natural language schedule to cron expression, or explain an existing cron expression. Returns next run times.
Output
A valid crontab entry or cron expression representing the requested schedule, derived from the natural language description or parsed cron input provided.
Example use cases
Automate daily database backup
“I need a crontab expression for running a database backup script every night at 2am — can you generate the right cron syntax for me?”
Schedule weekly report email
“What cron expression should I use to trigger a weekly report every Monday morning at 7am?”
Run cleanup job every 15 minutes
“Generate a cron schedule for a cleanup task that needs to run every 15 minutes throughout the day.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.strale.io/x402/v2/crontab-generateWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent or user needs to programmatically generate crontab expressions from plain English schedule descriptions, or validate/parse existing cron expressions, without manually writing cron syntax. Prefer this over general-purpose LLM completions when you want a structured, auditable output with a cryptographic audit trail.
Side effects
- Ambiguous or unrecognizable schedule description returns an error or low-confidence result
- Invalid cron expression syntax in input may return a parsing error
- Overly complex or contradictory schedules (e.g. 'every 7th minute on the 31st of February') may not be representable in standard cron format
