Crontap
Schedule recurring API calls with cron syntax.
Crontap calls your endpoints on a schedule you write in cron or plain English. Pick a frequency and a timezone, test the call, and stop thinking about it.

What it is
The scheduler for people who want the call to happen
Few services let you schedule a recurring HTTP request. The ones that do tend to bury it inside a larger platform. Crontap is the whole product. You give it a URL and a schedule. It makes the call.
Write the schedule in cron syntax when you want precision, or in plain English when you do not want to count fields. Each schedule has its own timezone. A job set for 09:00 in Copenhagen stays at 09:00 in Copenhagen when the clocks change.
Uptime monitoring and heartbeats run on the same account and the same notification list. Together they cover the problem from all three directions: calls Crontap makes, URLs Crontap watches, and jobs that report back to Crontap.
Why it is built this way
The ideas behind it
- 01
Write it either way
Cron expressions for precision. Plain English when you would rather not count asterisks. Both become the same schedule.
- 02
Timezones that behave
Each schedule stores its own timezone. Daylight saving does not shift your jobs by an hour.
- 03
Test before you trust
Send the request while you are still editing it. Read the response. Then save. Re-run any schedule by hand later.
- 04
Know when it breaks
Failed runs go to your notification list by email, not into a log you never open.
Flow
How it works
- 01
Describe the request
Method, URL, headers and body. If it is an HTTP call, Crontap can send it.
- 02
Describe the schedule
A cron expression or a sentence, plus the timezone it runs in.
- 03
Verify it once
Run the call now. Read the real response. Adjust before you save.
- 04
Get told when it fails
Crontap keeps the run history and emails your notification list when calls start failing.
Specifics
What you get
- Cron expressions, or plain English like “every weekday at 09:00”
- A timezone per schedule, so daylight saving does not move your jobs
- Test the call before you save it. Re-run it any time after.
- Custom method, headers and body for each scheduled request
- Email alerts when a scheduled call starts failing
- Calendar and list views of everything you have scheduled
- Public REST API to manage schedules from code, on the Ultra plan
