如何解释cron.yaml文件中的URL参数？

Question

In AWS worker environment, I would like to apply a cron.yaml in parallel with an application.py file. The cron.yaml should execute at periodic intervals a data processing pipeline, that will be a Python script. In the documentation on the web, I often see something like the following in the cron.yaml file, but I am at odds what the url parameter exactly means for the data structure.

version: 1
cron: 
- name: "every-30-minutes-task"
  url: "/task1"
  schedule: "*/30 * * * *"
- name: "every-hour-task"
  url: "/task2"
  schedule: "0 * * * *"

Does it mean that there is a folder « task1 » and inside there should be a separate file with the script (for ex. app.py), that executes the scheduled cron job, and if so, which name should it have. Or should everything be put in a single script in the root?

Answer 1

The URL should be a POST route. That means when a POST request is sent to www.yourdomain.com/task1 , the logic of the controller associated to this route will be executed. So, what you have to do is to set up a controller which will call your script.
