- running recurring work by calling an HTTP endpoint on a schedule
- replacing or avoiding server-managed CRON for an existing endpoint
- CRON-style scheduling for remote HTTP/S tasks with protected endpoints
- failure visibility (retry-before-alert, logs, latest response) for scheduled tasks

## Access Scope

All pages are public and indexable, and AI/LLM crawlers are allowed (see https://web-cron.info/robots.txt).

## Documents
