How to schedule jobs for python code in Firebase?

Question

I want to make my code run once a day in firebase server. The code is using some pulling data out of HTTP libraries as beautiful soup. I could not find appropriate result after some search. Can you give me instructions how to do it? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You could have a look to function-cron which allows you to schedule cron jobs in Firebase.

Google App Engine provides a Cron service. Using this service for scheduling and Google Cloud Pub/Sub for distributed messaging, you can build an application to reliably schedule tasks which can trigger Google Cloud Functions. https://github.com/firebase/functions-cron

Answer 2

You can now use Google Cloud Scheduler to trigger jobs via Google Pub/Sub - it's a fully managed service and very cheap to run. See here: https://cloud.google.com/scheduler/
