# Get Cron By Identifier

### Description

This API enables you to get all available details of a cron present in the project. The cron is referred by its unique identifier like ID or name.

> **Note:** This API is applicable for [Pre-Defined Crons](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-predefined-cron/) and [Dynamic Crons](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-dynamic-cron/).

### Request Details

#### Request URL

`GET` {api-domain}/baas/v1/project/{project_id}/job_scheduling/cron/{cron_id/cron_name}

- **project_id** (Numerical): The [unique ID](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/getting-started/set-up-a-catalyst-project/general-settings/) of the project

- **cron_id** (Numerical): The [unique ID](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/cron/key-concepts/#cron-id) of the cron

- **cron_name** (String): The name of the cron

#### Request Headers
 **Authorization:** Zoho-oauthtoken {oauth_token} 

**Optional Headers** 

 **CATALYST-ORG:** {org_id}

 **Environment:** Development

#### Scope

ZohoCatalyst.cron.READ

### Response Details

The JSON response returns the metadata of a specific cron present in the project. The response will also contain the details of the user who created and last modified it.

> **Note:** The above response occurred when we attempted to `GET` a [Pre-Defined Cron](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-predefined-cron/). For a [Dynamic Cron](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-dynamic-cron/), the response will be similar but the execution_type will contain the value as '`dynamic`'.

**Sample Request**

```bash
curl -X GET 
https://api.catalyst.zoho.com/baas/v1/project/10278000000019013/job_scheduling/cron/10108000004154323
-H “Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken 1000.910*************************16.2f*************************57”
