How to constantly make ASP.NET CORE requests?

Question

ASP.NET

It is necessary in ASP.NET CORE to make requests to a third-party API every minute and store this in the database. What is the smartest way to do this? Is it possible to add an implementation of this task to ConfigureServices? Or will it not work?

Answer 1

Write a Windows Service, let it spin and make requests.
Even easier - write a script in python

Answer 2

yes, you can describe this in your BackgroundService implementation class and add it to the host configuration
and in the service itself, for example, a loop while(true) {..}, and for a delay between Task.Delay(..)
