CF-Incidents Workers - Cron triggers are now supported in Python Workers

[ENF News Bot]

You can now create Python Workers which are executed via a cron trigger.

This is similar to how it's done in JavaScript Workers, simply define a scheduled event listener in your Worker:

from workers import handler

@handler
async def on_scheduled(event, env, ctx):
  print("cron processed")

Define a cron trigger configuration in your Wrangler configuration file:

{
	"triggers": {
		// Schedule cron triggers:
		// - At every 3rd minute
		// - At 15:00 (UTC) on first day of the month
		// - At 23:59 (UTC) on the last weekday of the month
		"crons": [
			"*/3 * * * *",
			"0 15 1 * *",
			"59 23 LW * *"
		]
	}
}

[triggers]
crons = [ "*/3 * * * *", "0 15 1 * *", "59 23 LW * *" ]

Then test your new handler by using Wrangler with the --test-scheduled flag and making a request to /cdn-cgi/local/scheduled?cron=*+*+*+*+*:

npx wrangler dev --test-scheduled

curl "http://localhost:8787/cdn-cgi/local/scheduled?cron=*+*+*+*+*"

Consult the Workers Cron Triggers page for full details on cron triggers in Workers.
