Feature Request: Feed scheduling

Feature Request

While reading through the documentation I came across this section

This seems very brittle and transient. I think removing this as a hidden API call, and making this a configuration option for the feed in '../Hippocampe/core/conf/feeds' might be a more useful feature since thats where we configure the feeds we're going to download.

Keeping the API call + allowing it configurable via feed configurations also seems solid.

Hi Popsiclestick,

Thank you for your FR.

However, we are not sure to understand.
Just to be sure, you would like to configure the indexation periodicity in the feed's conf file, right ?

[Popsiclestick]

Yes. I think creating an option in core/conf/feeds/<feed>.conf which allows you to specify a variable that lets you set how often a feed is redownloaded (Something like sync : 12h ).

Hum..

We then would calculate the duration between feed's lastQuery field and time of indexation.
Compare the duration with sync value and depending on the result update or not.

We sure could implement that.

First we need to figure out whether we keep the sync value AND the API call or only one of these two...

Will keep you updated.

Thanks for your idea

Will +1 this as some feeds are actually updated on an hourly basis, some 24 hours, some unknown. Having more aggressive pulls for faster-updated feeds makes a lot of sense.
