Scheduled method application to deploy at appharbor.com


A while ago I've wrote an application that crawlers data from several websites, parses the data into specific format and sends this data to specific email address.

The app was executed x times a day via windows task scheduler.

Now I want to deploy this app to appharbor (i am not sure if it's possible to deploy console or library applications).

How can I schedule method executions via code?


Solution

  • We're working on adding background tasks to AppHarbor (it will be in the form of running console applications that you push). If the task doesn't take too long (eg. less that ~90 seconds), doing it in a controller is a viable workaround. You can use a service like MomentApp to trigger your crawler.
