Creating cron jobs
Cron job variables
In the URL, header values and request body of your cron jobs, you can use special variables. Those special variables will be replaced with a corresponding value each time cron-job.org executes your job.
Supported variables
The following variables are supported by cron-job.org:
Variable |
Description |
Example |
|---|---|---|
%cjo:unixtime% |
Current unix timestamp |
|
%cjo:uuid4% |
A UUID v4 unique identifier (not for cryptographic usage) |
|
Using a variable multiple times will cause the corresponding value to be re-generated for each occurence of
the variable. For example, using the %cjo:uuid4% variable twice will produce two different UUIDs.
