kairoi — opportune webhooks

"kairoi", plural of kairos (καιρός) is an Ancient Greek word meaning the right, critical, or opportune moment.

When do you want to schedule webhooks?

every second?

kairoi every 1 second for 12 weeks PATCH https://api.example.com/ticker-price-cache

every month?

kairoi every 1 month for 12 months post https://admin.example.com/payroll

one time?

kairoi every 1 hour for 1 hour POST https://marketing.example.com/reply-mail

nonsensically never?

kairoi every 1 hour for 1 minute head https://example.com/dev/null

Getting it

npm i -g kairoi 

Some people need to use sudo with -g

Time-as-a-Service

Everything has a right time.
To every thing a season.
With kairoi that time is now.
Or whenever you want it to be.
To the ancient Greeks, kairoi meant "the right times", or "the fated times".
But to you, kairoi means "Time-as-a-Service".

So when are the right times?

Big things have small beginnings

kairoi every 1 second for 12 weeks \ 
  post https://app.io/new-customers \
  --body={"action":"greet", "allow":"push,email,sms"}

Everything that has a beginning
Has an end
