That is correct. A view function/object is only called when a site visitor is routed to that callable by the URL configuration. > But what if I want the server to run a function indenpendently of a url call, > for example: > - every 10 minutes > - when a pre-defined combination of variables become true I'm not clear on your second condition, but you are probably interested in Celery for the first. http://www.celeryproject.org/ Alternatively, some clouds provide the ability to run code on a regular basis. If your Django code is not closely coupled with cron job, you could use AWS Lambda. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-scheduled-events.html If it is tightly coupled and Celery is too powerful for your needs, you could use an AWS Lambda (or Azure Function, etc) to send a request to your Django API on a regular basis.
