Communication with server every N seconds, react/redux?

Question

JavaScript

Good afternoon! Please tell me how best to receive data if it is necessary that they come every N seconds (4-8)?
Now I'm running setInterval and every 5 seconds with new parameters it pulls the server, if something has changed the server sends data.
Is this approach correct?
Is webSocket suitable for this?
What are the alternatives
Thank you!

Answer 1

webSocket and let the server tell you if the data has changed

Answer 2
