Webservice - Scheduled tasks

[jo-ka]

Hello.
I've set up the webservice plugin to get JSON data from a REST API, and it seems to working right. Now, I would need to run the webservice plugin every night, so I can my Fabrik list updated on daily basis.

I've read about the Scheduled tasks system plugin and heve enabled it.


But when I go to Schedule Tasks in order to schedule running the Webservice plugin, it's not available to run, just email and php plugins are, because the corresponding Fabrik Cron plugins are enabled.






Am I missing something here, or there is no way at all to schedule the webservice plugin to run automatically?

Thanks in advance.

No, there's no webservice cron plugin.
You have to do it with a php plugin (which then will solve your dynamic filter problem also )
Something like
select your season
create and call the URL (... $json_string = file_get_contents($url);...)
handle the JSON response
insert/update the data into your table

Dear troester. Thank's for your reply.
OK, closing now.
I'm going to use PHP scripts instead of the webservice plugin.
