Angular subscribe won't update when data changes

I have a subscribe in typescript that pulls locations from my own ASP.NET database. However, they only pull the data once, but the locations should be updated live. How do I get my Observable to automatically update?

I've tried to use ChangeDetectorRef, but it didn't solve the issue (neither .MarkForCheck() or .DetectChanges()).

getLocations(){
        console.log("Get them all!"); 
        this.API.getAllLocations().subscribe(result =>{
            this.locations = result;
            console.log(this.locations);
            this.addLocationMarkers();
            this.ref.markForCheck();
        });
}

getAllLocations(): Observable<Location[]> {
    return this._http.get<Location[]>(this.url + "location/", this.headers);
}

I can clearly see that console.log(this.locations) is only called once in my browser. Why isn't it called when the underlying data changes in the database?

this can be done using Rxjs library

in your ts file

import "rxjs/Rx";


numberSubscription: Subscription;

getLocations(){
console.log("Get them all!"); 
const data = Observable.interval(10000).startWith(0); <= this is the time interval in ms at which you want check for change of data in database.
    this.numberSubscription = data.subscribe((number: number) => {
        this.API.getAllLocations().subscribe(result =>{
                    this.locations = result;
                    console.log(this.locations);
                    this.addLocationMarkers();
                    this.ref.markForCheck();
                });
    });
  }

Hope this helps
