from $20.00 / 1,000 run starteds
Your cron job sends one curl ping after each run. This Actor keeps the ledger in a named key-value store and reports every job that went silent, with an optional webhook alert. HTTP only, no browser, no proxy, no database.
You can access the Scheduled Job Heartbeat and Silence Ledger programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.
