Scheduled Feed Refresh
Projects · Updated 12 Jul 2026
Feed URL projects can automatically fetch new data on a schedule, keeping your feeds up to date without manual intervention.
Setting a schedule
In the project Settings tab, set Refresh type to Scheduled and enter a cron expression.
Cron expression format
A cron expression has 5 fields separated by spaces: minute hour day month day-of-week
| Expression | Meaning |
|---|---|
0 6 * * * | Every day at 06:00 UTC |
0 */6 * * * | Every 6 hours |
0 9 * * 1 | Every Monday at 09:00 UTC |
0 0 1 * * | 1st day of each month at midnight |
*/30 * * * * | Every 30 minutes (Pro only) |
All times are in UTC.
Plan limits
Minimum refresh intervals vary by plan:
- Free - manual fetch only (no scheduled refresh)
- Starter - minimum 24-hour interval
- Pro - minimum 1-hour interval
If you enter a cron that fires more frequently than your plan allows, a validation error is shown.
Manual fetch
Regardless of the schedule, you can always trigger an immediate fetch from the project settings page.
Pausing a schedule
Set Refresh type back to Once (or disable the project) to stop scheduled refreshes without deleting the cron.
