Python scripts(bots) that are hosted in the cloud to run on a scheduled basis

How does it work?

• Make a simple flask application and place the script in a route.

• Connect the repo with Heroku or a similar platform.

• If you are a Heroku verified user, you could use this addon. You need to add a credit card to verify your account.

• Create a new account on WayScript

• Create a liar that is preset with the Python Cron Job template.

• The default file will be tasks.py. Use the requests module to make a get request to the route where you have placed your script in step 1.

• Create the requirements.txt file in the root directory and add the requests module.

• Open the trigger file and add the time when you want to run the tasks.py file. Visit CrontabGuru if you do not know how to schedule a task with a cron.

• Finally, deploy the liar.

PS. If you do not deploy your liar, the trigger file will not run
