This is a simple example of how to create a cron job using Genezio and Python.
index.py- Contains the handler function that runs every hour, logging the execution time and returning a 200 status responsegenezio.yaml- Configuration file that defines the cron schedule and endpointrequirements.txt- Contains the dependencies for the project
The cron job is configured to run every hour (at minute 0) using the cron expression 0 * * * * in the genezio.yaml file, at the / endpoint.
The handler function:
- Prints the current execution time
- Logs any incoming event data
You can test the endpoint manually by accessing it with your browser or using tools like curl/Postman.
