This endpoint retrieves all schedules for a given group.

HTTP Request

GET https://api.cronhooks.io/groups/{groupId}/schedules?skip=0&limit=10

Query Parameters

Parameter Required Description
groupId Required group id
skip Required Number of records to skip.
limit Required Number of records to return in response.

Environment Variables (Global)

Group & global environment variables can be used in webhook URLs, headers and payload. Use {{CUSTOM_VAR}} notation. Group level variables override global variables, if they have same name. Variables are case sensitive.

List Environment Variables

curl "https://api.cronhooks.io/environment-variables"
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"

The above command returns JSON structured like this:

{
  "items": [
    {
      "key": "BASE_URL",
      "value": "https://api.cronhooks.io",
      "protected": false
    },
    {
      "key": "API_KEY",
      "value": "key_b1c4553be9dab17879b4a2ba2c5aecc2c13cafef",
      "protected": true
    }
  ]
}

This endpoint retrieves all environment variables.

Update Environment Variables

curl "https://api.cronhooks.io/environment-variables"
  -X PUT \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_TOKEN>' \
  -d \
  '{

}

This endpoint environment variables.

HTTP Request

PUT https://api.cronhooks.io/environment-variables

Parameters

Parameter Required Description
overwrite Required Overwrite existing variables.
environmentVariables Required Variables.

overwrite: true will remove all existing variables and update with new variables. overwrite: false will append new variables and update with new value if a variable already exists.

HTTP Request

PUT https://api.cronhooks.io/environment-variables

System Variables

These variables can be directly used in your schedules.

  1. _CRONHOOK_ID - Id of schedule
  2. _RANDOM - a random number
  3. _UUID - a random guid
  4. _TIMESTAMP - unix timestamp (seconds)

Escape Braces

If you need to escape curly braces you can use this notation:

{%{ {{ escaped_string }} }%} // output => {{ escaped_string }}

Notifications Integrations

Webhook

You will recieve schedule failure payload as follows

{
  "action": "webhook.failed",
  "webhook":
  {
    ...
  }
}

A POST request will be sent to your provided webhook in case of failure if your shceduled webhook does not return 2xx status code.

Slack

In order to integrate Slack with your cronhooks account, you should follow these steps.

  1. Go to the "Alerts" page from top right menu of "User Name" and there you will see "Add to Slack" button. Click on it. Cronhooks Slack Integration

  2. "Add to Slack" button will redirect you to the Slack auth page where you can choose the channel you want to get Cronhooks alerts to (see the screenshot below). Cronhooks Slack Authorization

  3. After choosing the channel "Authorize" it and you will be redirected back to Cronhooks alerts page. Here you can see all your Slack channels in the list. You can add & delete as many channels as you like.

You can read our privacy policy here.

Webhook Signature Verification

To verify the the authenticity that your scheduled webhook was triggered by cronhooks you can check the signature.

ASP.NET / C#

[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class CronhooksFailureWebHook : Controller
{
    // You can find your endpoint's secret in your API Keys settings
    const string secret = "wh_...";

    [HttpPost]
    public void Index()
    {
      var json = new StreamReader(HttpContext.Request.Body).ReadToEnd();
      var computedSignature = ComputeSignature(secret, json);
      var cronhooksSignature = Request.Headers["Cronhooks-Signature"];

      if (SecureCompare(computedSignature, cronhooksSignature))
      {
        // Verified
      }
    }

    private string ComputeSignature(string secret, string payload)
    {
      var secretBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(secret);
      var payloadBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(payload);

      using (var cryptographer = new HMACSHA256(secretBytes))
      {
        var hash = cryptographer.ComputeHash(payloadBytes);
        return BitConverter.ToString(hash).Replace("-", string.Empty).ToLowerInvariant();
      }
    }

    private bool SecureCompare(string a, string b)
    {
      if (a.Length != b.Length)
      {
        return false;
      }

      var result = 0;
      for (var i = 0; i < a.Length; i++)
      {
        result |= a[i] ^ b[i];
      }
      return result == 0;
    }
}

PHP


  $webhook_secret = 'wh_...';

  $payload = @file_get_contents('php://input');
  $cronhooks_sig_header = $_SERVER['HTTP_CRONHOOKS_SIGNATURE'];

  $signature = computeSignature($payload, $webhook_secret);

  if(secureCompare($cronhooks_sig_header, $signature)){
    // Verified
  }

  private function computeSignature($payload, $secret){
     return hash_hmac("sha256", $payload, $secret);
  }

  private function secureCompare($secret, $computed){
    if(function_exists('hash_equals')){
      return hash_equals($secret, $computed);
    }

    if (strlen($secret) != strlen($computed)) {
      return false;
    }

    $result = 0;
    for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($secret); $i++) {
      $result |= ord($secret[$i]) ^ ord($computed[$i]);
    }
    return ($result == 0);
  }

Typescript / Node


  import crypto from 'crypto'

  const cronhooksSignature = req.headers['cronhooks-signature']; // req.headers['Cronhooks-Signature']

  let body = rawBody.toString();

  const expectedSignature = crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', process.env.CRONHOOKS_SECRET)
    .update(body)
    .digest('hex');

  let isValidRequest = (cronhooksSignature !== expectedSignature);
