Simple regular tasks - Celery

[ReneS29]

Hi, everyone,
I have a few small functions in my Django app that query data from a website, for example. I would like to query the data in a certain period of time - once a day. Now I’ve researched on the Internet that “Celery” would be a good solution for this.

Question 1:
Is this a good solution - even for very simple requirements?

Question 2:
Does this work if I run Django Locally in development mode on my Mac Os?

Thank you

Either Celery / Celery Beats or a cron job will do this for you.

See the threads at:

• initiate Django model data with new data daily and automate this process?
• How to use Django together with continously running Scrapy script

If you set it up to do so, yes.
