Simple URL Loader / Virtual Cronjob
7 days trial then $1.00/month - No credit card required now
This lightweight actor loads (NOT JUST PINGS) the provided URLs inside the actor. Perfect to read and process a URLs content and/or status, create your own cronjob, or check on the health of a url. GET, POST and other methods are possible. There's also an option to save the returned content.
You can access the Simple URL Loader / Virtual Cronjob programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.

Simple URL Loader / Virtual Cronjob OpenAPI definition
OpenAPI is a standard for designing and describing RESTful APIs, allowing developers to define API structure, endpoints, and data formats in a machine-readable way. It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.
OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.
By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.
You can download the OpenAPI definitions for Simple URL Loader / Virtual Cronjob from the options below:
