Cron Job API Launched

Just now, EasyCron proudly launched Cron Job API to the public.

This API allows members of EasyCron easily integrate our services into their applications.

Currently it has following methods:

• list
• add
• edit
• enable
• disable
• delete
• logs
• timezone

For more information, please check the API Document Page.
Enjoy it!

Good bye reCAPTCHA!

Since reCAPTCHA is becoming harder and harder to distinguish (actually sometimes it's ridiculously over blurred), so we take it down from the sign up page.

Now we have a cleaner and enough safe CAPTCHA at https://www.easycron.com/user/register.

Cron job can be run manually

We just added a feature to EasyCron.com. This feature allows user to run cron job manually by clicking on the URL link in the cron job list .

Manually triggered cron job is run from EasyCron's server, so in your website's log, you will still see the IP/agent of EasyCron.com.

In the popped up page of manually-run cron job, you can see statistics information such as start time, connect Time, done time, total execution time, HTTP status code and the output of the cron job. These information will help you check if everything is good with your cron job.

In order to prevent abuse, every user only has a quota of 20 times to manually run the cron jobs in one day.

cron job list made sortable

Now you can sort cron job list by column "Cron Job ID", "Cron Job Name", "Cron Job URL", "Coins Occupied" and "Failed Time" at EasyCron.com.

Try setting cron job with EasyCron.com.

Email notices are with cron job name now

We changed our Email notice system a bit as pur our user's request in easycron.com. Now the email notices of "cron job is executed", "cron job execution failure" and "cron job is disabled" are sent with cron job name in the email title and body. So that our users can quickly know that which cron job the notice is related to, and take further action.

Let user decide to test the URL first or not before adding a cron job

From now on, EasyCron.com allows user to decide if to test the URL first before adding a cron job. In those cases which a user only wants to run his URL at configured time, this feature is very useful.

Usage:
In order to let EasyCron test the URL first, either clicking "ok" when EasyCron prompts the confirmation "Do you want EasyCron to test your URL first? (Recommended)" (in AJAX setting mode) or checking "Allow EasyCron to test the URL first" checkbox (in classic setting mode) will do the trick.

Don't want EasyCron to test the URL first? just do the converse.

Testing the URL first will find the timeout issue or script errors in early stage, so we highly recommend you allow us doing so.
