How do I fetch data from API in Flask?

I'm trying to set up a Flask API Server from which I can data from local database via an ongoing HTTP Request to another database.

In the local code, I run a thread that is running and updating the local DB every 1 minute. 

app = Flask(__name__)

cached_event_log = None
@app.route('/event_log', methods=['GET'])
def get_event_log():
    if cached_event_log != None and .get_latest_event_time == cached_event_log[-1]:
        return jsonify(cached_event_log)
    #MAKE CONNECTION TO DB AND GET THE DATA
    return jsonify(event_log)

if(__name__ == '__main__'):
    app.run(Debug=True)

I'm struggling to find a "standard" way to set up A request.

Any opinion would be highly appreciated- Thank you,

You could set up a cron job to run a script at a specified interval

Or use something like Advanced Python Scheduler https://apscheduler.readthedocs.io/en/3.0/
