EventBridge cron expressions use minute, hour, day-of-month, month, day-of-week, and year fields, with wildcards including *, /, -, and , plus special operators like L, W, and # for day-of-month and day-of-week fields.\n\nThe validator raises specific exceptions (e.g., AWSCronExpressionMinuteError) for invalid fields and generic ValueError for malformed expressions. It has no runtime dependencies and requires Python 3.10 or later. The package is small, actively maintained, and suitable for applications that need to validate EventBridge schedules before submission or for testing scheduling logic.","worth_installing":"Yes. If you work with AWS EventBridge schedules, this lightweight validator saves debugging time by catching expression errors before deployment. No dependencies, permissive license, active maintenance, and a clear API make it a low-risk addition to projects that need cron validation."},"id":"aws-cron-expression-validator","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-cron-expression-validator","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-cron-expression-validator.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aws-cron-expression-validator/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-11-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aws-cron-expression-validator","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"ValidatesAWS EventBridge cron expressions, which are similar to, but not compatible with Unix style cron expressions"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":81115,"position":14247,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.15"}
