Scheduled website data collection: cadence, costs, and reliability
Scheduled collection is appropriate when source data changes over time and your downstream decision benefits from a regular refresh.
Choose frequency from volatility
Daily is not inherently better than weekly. Use the lowest frequency that captures meaningful change.
Estimate consumption
Rows per run × runs per period is the baseline. Add detail-page visits, screenshots, premium-source costs, and retries.
Keep run metadata
Store timestamps, source URLs, status, and record counts so you can troubleshoot drift.
Review after launch
Once you have real change history, reduce or increase frequency based on how often meaningful updates actually occur.
