How to schedule a function to run every hour on Flask?

Question

I have a Flask web hosting with no access to cron command.

How can I execute some Python function every hour?

Answer 1

Another alternative might be to use Flask-APScheduler which plays nicely with Flask, e.g.:

• Loads scheduler configuration from Flask configuration,
• Loads job definitions from Flask configuration
