Schedules
How to set up recurring scraping on a ready job.
Once a job is ready, you can attach a schedule to it so that Gluecrawl runs it automatically on a recurring basis.
Setting Up a Schedule
A schedule defines when and how often a job should run. You can choose from:
- Minutes — e.g., every 30 minutes
- Hours — e.g., every 2 hours
- Days — e.g., every day at 9:00 AM
- Weeks — e.g., every Monday and Thursday at 8:00 AM
- Months — e.g., on the 1st of every month
- One-time — a single run at a specific future date and time
For daily, weekly, and monthly schedules you can also set the time of day when the run should start.
What Happens on Each Trigger
Each scheduled trigger creates a new run — exactly like a manual rerun. The processing step is not repeated, so scheduled runs are fast and only cost the variable run fee.
Each run produces its own independent set of extracted items, giving you a fresh snapshot of the data every time.
Managing Schedules
- Pause or update — change the interval or disable the schedule without deleting it.
- Remove — delete the schedule entirely. Runs already in progress are not affected.
Scheduled runs consume credits from your account balance at the time they execute. If your balance is insufficient when a scheduled run triggers, the run will not start.
