🕒 API Scheduler

A lightweight Python-based scheduler to automate and log API requests at specific timestamps. Perfect for running time-based API calls (like heartbeat checks, data syncs, or webhook testing).

🚀 Features

Schedule multiple API calls at custom timestamps

Supports GET and POST requests

Optional dry-run mode (test schedules without execution)

Logs every run, skip, and error with timestamps

Simple CLI interface

⚙️ Usage

Run the script python api_scheduler.py "12:00:05,12:00:10,12:00:15"

This runs the scheduler for the specified times (24-hour format).

Dry run (no actual API calls) python api_scheduler.py "12:00:05,12:00:10" --dry-run

Example log output 2025-10-03 12:00:05: Executing API request... 2025-10-03 12:00:10: Skipping past timestamp 2025-10-03 12:00:05

🧠 How It Works

Reads timestamps from command-line arguments

Waits until each scheduled time

Sends API requests (or simulates in dry-run)

Logs results to the console and file
