Get the url of cron job

I have to find the url from where the cron job calls an API. I tried <?=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];?> in the cron file but it returned empty and also <? phpinfo() ?> did not help.
Cron command: * * * * * php -q /home/karenib/public_html/scr/cron.php

The <?=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];?> will will not be populated when running it from a cronjob like php -q /home/karenib/public_html/scr/cron.php, since the file is not accessed via HTTP.

You can pass the host through params like 

php -q /home/karenib/public_html/scr/cron.php -h=http://example.com

And access it like 

$host = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] : getopt('h:');

However, if you still need the HTTP_HOST populated, you can use curl like

curl http://example.com/path/to/cron.php &> /dev/null
