Multiple Cron Triggers

If you want to get started quickly, click on the button below.

This creates a repository in your GitHub account and deploys the application to Cloudflare Workers.

JavaScript

export default {
  async scheduled(event, env, ctx) {
    // Write code for updating your API
    switch (event.cron) {
      case "*/3 * * * *":
        // Every three minutes
        await updateAPI();
        break;
      case "*/10 * * * *":
        // Every ten minutes
        await updateAPI2();
        break;
      case "*/45 * * * *":
        // Every forty-five minutes
        await updateAPI3();
        break;
    }
    console.log("cron processed");
  },
};

TypeScript

interface Env {}
export default {
  async scheduled(
    controller: ScheduledController,
    env: Env,
    ctx: ExecutionContext,
  ) {
    // Write code for updating your API
    switch (controller.cron) {
      case "*/3 * * * *":
        // Every three minutes
        await updateAPI();
        break;
      case "*/10 * * * *":
        // Every ten minutes
        await updateAPI2();
        break;
      case "*/45 * * * *":
        // Every forty-five minutes
        await updateAPI3();
        break;
    }
    console.log("cron processed");
  },
};

Hono

import { Hono } from "hono";

interface Env {}

// Create Hono app
const app = new Hono<{ Bindings: Env }>();

// Regular routes for normal HTTP requests
app.get("/", (c) => c.text("Multiple Cron Trigger Example"));

// Export both the app and a scheduled function
export default {
  // The Hono app handles regular HTTP requests
  fetch: app.fetch,

  // The scheduled function handles Cron triggers
  async scheduled(
    controller: ScheduledController,
    env: Env,
    ctx: ExecutionContext,
  ) {
    // Check which cron schedule triggered this execution
    switch (controller.cron) {
      case "*/3 * * * *":
        // Every three minutes
        await updateAPI();
        break;
      case "*/10 * * * *":
        // Every ten minutes
        await updateAPI2();
        break;
      case "*/45 * * * *":
        // Every forty-five minutes
        await updateAPI3();
        break;
    }
    console.log("cron processed");
  },
};

Test Cron Triggers using Wrangler

The recommended way of testing Cron Triggers is using Wrangler.

Cron Triggers can be tested using Wrangler by passing in the --test-scheduled flag to wrangler dev. This will expose a /__scheduled (or /cdn-cgi/handler/scheduled for Python Workers) route which can be used to test using a HTTP request. To simulate different cron patterns, a cron query parameter can be passed in.

npx wrangler dev --test-scheduled

curl "http://localhost:8787/__scheduled?cron=*%2F3+*+*+*+*"

curl "http://localhost:8787/cdn-cgi/handler/scheduled?cron=*+*+*+*+*" # Python Workers
