[SOLVED] Regularly save Json data in my Firebase database

Issue

I don't find on the web and Google doc how to retrieve automatically a Json data and save it in Firebase database.

My goal : every hour, call an external JSON and save a data in my Firebase Realtime Database.

Is it possible ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Solution

You could do this using Cloud Functions, which are snippets of your code that run on Google's servers. You can run such functions on a schedule, like in this example from the link:

exports.scheduledFunction = functions.pubsub.schedule('every 5 minutes').onRun((context) => {
  console.log('This will be run every 5 minutes!');
  return null;
});

In that function, you can then run any process you want.

Cloud Functions for Firebase is limited to running Node.js code, but there are other solutions (such as Google Cloud Run) that can run many more languages.
