@kapa.ai is there any readble humna format api to know what cron type is this 0 30 11 * * ?, i see in airbyte UI it show the human readble format, but when i inspect, im not able to see any api

Yes. Airbyte exposes an API to return a human‑readable description of a Quartz cron expression. For Embedded/AI Agents, you can use the “Describe Cron Expression” endpoint:
Copy code
bash curl -X POST <https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/templates/connections/cron/describe> \   -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \   -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \   -d '{     "cron_expression": "0 30 11 * * ?"   }'
This endpoint validates the cron and returns a human‑readable description of when it will run. [[Cron describe API](https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/embedded/api/connection-templates#configuration-options); [Describe cron ref](https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/embedded/api-reference/create-integrations-templates-connections-cron-describe)] The knowledge sources only document this endpoint for the Embedded/AI Agents API; they do not explicitly mention an equivalent endpoint for the main Airbyte Cloud/Core public API.

A message from kapa.ai
The knowledge sources only document the human‑readable cron description endpoint for the Embedded/AI Agents API (`https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/templates/connections/cron/describe`). [[Connection templates](https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/embedded/api/connection-templates#configuration-options); [Describe cron](https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/embedded/api-reference/create-integrations-templates-connections-cron-describe)] They do not mention an equivalent “describe cron” endpoint for the open‑source (OSS) API, so I can’t confirm that such an endpoint exists for OSS based on the provided docs. So, with what I have: - For OSS you can use cron expressions in schedules (including via API), but - There is no documented OSS API in these sources that converts 
0 30 11 * * ?
into a human‑readable string. If you need that for OSS today, you’d likely have to parse/describe the Quartz cron expression on your side (outside of Airbyte), since the docs don’t show an OSS endpoint that does it.
