Hello,

In FME Desktop I request with a REST API my FME Server schedule and I have CRON expressions for some workspaces.

I want to create a calendar with the results, so I would like to have date values for the workspaces scheduled with CRON expressions.

How could I interpret easily those expressions into FME Desktop?

Thanks!

Maybe this could be a starting point?

https://github.com/Salamek/cron-descriptor

It's a python library that can convert a cron expression into human-readable text in several languages.

I found a REST API that can convert 1000 expressions per day!

The Python library could have been a way to do it, but I prefer to use a simple HTTPCaller :)
