Documented steps POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/monitor with a schedule.text field instead of schedule.cron. Use phrases like 'every 30 minutes', 'every 2 hours', 'hourly', 'daily at 9:00', 'daily at 9am', 'weekly'. Include timezone when text is time-anchored: {"schedule":{"text":"daily at 9am","timezone":"America/New_York"}}. Pass the same targets block as any monitor (scrape, crawl, or web targets). The API normalizes text schedules to a cron expression in the response, so read the returned cron to confirm intent. Docs: https://docs.firecrawl.dev/features/monitoring Official docs: https://docs.firecrawl.dev/features/monitoring Known gotchas Minimum cadence is 5 minutes regardless of phrasing. Text schedules are spread by monitor ID before conversion to cron, so many monitors do not all fire at the same instant. timezone only matters for time-anchored phrases ('daily at 9am'); pure interval phrases ignore it.
