How to call a script every 30 minutes?

Question

JavaScript

The script should be called every 30 minutes, check the data through the API of another site and check it against the data in MongoDB. If there is a difference, the script should send an email. Question: is it rational to use node-schedule in this case?

Answer 1

You misspelled "no s e-schedule".
There is node-cron, I would prefer it for this task.

Answer 2

If your script is written in node.js, then using node-cron is still somehow justified, and if not, then it’s better not to.

Answer 3

cron is suitable for calling any scripts, including node

Answer 4

I would use regular cron, fortunately, almost all Linux machines have it.
