Shiny Dashboard Auto Triggering

I had created one live Shiny dashboard. I know how to publish it in shinyapps.io.

Q1: I'm fetching data from json api and its changing frequently. Is it possible to set Auto-run of my app every hour automatically in shinyapps.io? If so how is it possible.

Q2: How to publish my shiny dashboard in AWS, including Auto Trigger too.

Thanks in Advance

Difficult to explain given the lack of reproducible example.

Use reactivePoll instead of reactive

data <- reactivePoll(
  intervalMillis = 1000 * 60 * 60, 
  session, 
  checkFunc = function(){
    Sys.time()
  }, 
  valueFunc = function(){
    # call API and return data here
  }
)

The above will run checkFunc at every intervalMillis, if the results of checkFunc is different then valueFunc is returned.

This will work wherever you deploy, see Shiny Server Community edition to deploy your own server. You can see examples on digitalocean.
