Reading a text file in every one hour from a server

I have a text file stored in a server which can be accessed by a user name and password. The text file is updated each 1 hour. I want to build a python program which can read the text file in every 1 hour using the user id and password. I will later use the text file to store the data in a MySQL server where it will use the data to show in an mobile app. But I need to figure out how to read data in every hour first.

Solution

  • If you want with python, there is also a library to do that https://pypi.org/project/python-crontab/ You need create the job in your server and implement the logic you want to do on your python script
