Django - run a function every x seconds

Question

I\'m working on a Django app. I have an API endpoint, which if requested, must carry out a function that must be repeated a few times (until a certain condition is true). Ho

Answer 1

I recommend you use Celery's task management. You can refer this to set up this app (package if you're from javaScript background).

Once set, you can alter the code to:

@app.task
def check_shut_down():
    if not some_fun():
        # add task that'll run again after 2 secs
        check_shut_down.delay((), countdown=3)
    else:
        # task completed; do something to notify yourself
        return True
