# Cron CLI and SDKs

> Create and manage Pxxl Cron Jobs through the CLI or supported SDKs.

The dashboard is the quickest way to create a job. Use automation when cron jobs are part of your infrastructure setup or need to be recreated across workspaces.

## CLI

The CLI supports cron job operations such as listing jobs, creating a job, reading a job, triggering a run, starting, stopping, and deleting a job. See the [Cron CLI reference](/api/cron-cli) for the current commands and flags.

Keep the API key in your shell's secret manager or CI environment. Do not place it in a repository or a client-side application.

## SDKs

Use a server-side SDK when your application already manages Pxxl resources in code:

* [Node.js SDK](/api/cron-node-sdk)
* [Go SDK](/api/cron-go-sdk)
* [Python SDK](/api/cron-python-sdk)
* [Rust SDK](/api/cron-rust-sdk)

The SDKs call the Pxxl HTTP API. They do not turn the cron endpoint into a private network service. The endpoint still needs to be public and authenticated as described in [Connection](/cron-jobs/connection).

## Automation checklist

* Give each job a stable name.
* Keep the schedule in source control.
* Store the Pxxl API key outside the repository.
* Create or update jobs idempotently.
* Confirm the first run in [Monitoring](/cron-jobs/monitoring).
