When setting up cron jobs in Javascript, it is usually crucial to keep track of their execution and whether they have been executed successfully or not. Sometimes, a minor failure in a cronjob can cause your Javascript application to stop working correctly. Palzin Track makes it easy to track your cron jobs and their execution status all in real-time, and it works seamlessly with your Javascript code.

Setting up Palzin Track with JavaScript is very simple!
Once your Palzin Track account is set up, you can use the following code snippets to track your cron jobs. Just replace the YOUR_API_TOKEN with your Palzin Track API token and update your project name.
Using JavaScript with Fetch
var myHeaders = new Headers();
myHeaders.append("Content-Type", "application/json");
myHeaders.append("Authorization", "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN");
var raw = JSON.stringify({
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "cronjobs",
"event": "Cronjob Started",
"description": "job: email-notifications",
"icon": "⏰",
"notify": true
});
var requestOptions = {
method: 'POST',
headers: myHeaders,
body: raw,
redirect: 'follow'
};
fetch("https://api.palzin.live/v1/log", requestOptions)
.then(response => response.text())
.then(result => console.log(result))
.catch(error => console.log('error', error));
Using JavaScript with jQuery
var settings = {
"url": "https://api.palzin.live/v1/log",
"method": "POST",
"timeout": 0,
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

"data": JSON.stringify({
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "cronjobs",
"event": "Cronjob Started",
"description": "job: email-notifications",
"icon": "⏰",
"notify": true
}),
};
$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
console.log(response);
});
Using JavaScript with XHR
// WARNING: For POST requests, body is set to null by browsers.
var data = JSON.stringify({
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "cronjobs",
"event": "Cronjob Started",
"description": "job: email-notifications",
"icon": "⏰",
"notify": true
});
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.withCredentials = true;
xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function() {
if(this.readyState === 4) {
console.log(this.responseText);
}
});
xhr.open("POST", "https://api.palzin.live/v1/log");
