Many requests in Timer

General

Hi, i am researching Backendless platform and have some quesitons.

I need to make 200-300 requests every 2 hours to get new data and store it. I read that Timer can be schedulled to do jobs but can be only 5sec and cant make async calls. My quesiton is if this can be done with Backendless? If not - is it possible to make simple java app that does this work and just to send data to Backendless to store it and then make rest api ?

Hi,

With the free tier of Backendless, timers can be launched every 60 seconds. Which means every 2 hours, it can be triggered 240 times. Each time it runs, you get 5 seconds to complete its job. Both of these parameters (60 seconds and 5 seconds) can be changed by purchasing function packs from the Marketplace.

Hope this answers your question.
