Automatic updates

With automatic updates, you can create a schedule for when your sources should be automatically updated.

Automatic updates work for all source types. However, to utilize automatic updates, your file (CSV, JSON, DOCX or other) must be hosted externally and accessible via a persistent link that can be re-scrape. A manual upload to ebbot provides a static copy that won't change, so auto-update for a manually uploaded file will just retrieve the same content from the file as it had when it was last uploaded to ebbot.

To set up a schedule for automatically updating sources in a dataset, follow these steps:

• Navigate to the dataset.

• Select the Automatic updates tab.

• Click on Create new automatic update.

• Select the sources to be included in this schedule.

• Define the interval at which the updates should occur.

• Click 'save'

Once you've created an automatic update schedule, it should look like the image below. The image shows the update interval and the sources that will be updated.
