Is there anyway to run my script on the cloud with regular interval?

I have writtern some python script to capture the real-time air quality information and weather condition around the world. The data on the source website is updated once in 1 hour.

So, I need to re-run my script by 1 hour and update my saving datafiles. I only have a laptop which is impossible to run continuous about 1 year with not shutting down just for this job.

In this way, I want to ask is there any website that I can upload and run my scripts and it will save the result on the cloud.

Add

My script is pretty easy with the support of Python BeautifulSoup.

My target website is offering API key and I have one.

With my test, the script can run in OS.X system and CentOS system.

I think scrapinghub meets your requirements perfectly, thought there is a data retention limit, at least in the free and the basic plans.
