Example usage

Copy the following workflow example code into a .github/workflows/main.yml

Note You may rename main.yml as per your own requirements.

name: Scheduled Ping
# This workflow is triggered at a scheduled interval of every 30 minutes
on:
  schedule:
    # * is a special character in YAML so you have to quote this string.
    # /30 denotes that it will run once every 30 minutes
    - cron:  '*/30 * * * *'

jobs:
  pinger_job:
    name: A job to ping
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      URL: ${{ secrets.URL }}
      METHOD: GET  # the method used to make the request. It is GET by default
    steps:
      - id: ping
        uses: sisodiya2421/pinger@master

NOTE You can change the time interval according to your own need. Default is 30 minutes. All you need to do is just replace '*/30 * * * *' in line - cron: '*/30 * * * *' with your suitable timing. Remember the shortest interval you can run scheduled workflows is once every 5 minutes.

Some patterns for help

// Every Monday at 1PM UTC (9AM EST)
0 13 * * 1

// At the end of every day
0 0 * * *

// Every 10 minutes
*/10 * * *
