REST API Modular Input v1.3.7 - Polling once a day

[DanielFordWA]

I have added some python code to tokens.py file and set the polling interval to 86400. After enabling the input for the first time the data is always pulled back.

The code looks back over a number of days and populates the endpoint with the day, as each day rolls over, it should pull the subsequent days but no data is pulled.

If I wait 2 days, disabling the input and re-enabling the input pulls back the data for the correct day.

How can I debug the REST API Modular Input v1.3.7 to understand what the issue may be?

My answer for this, until the author of the app changes it, is to use an if statement. Set your interval for 3600. Every hour have it run. But do a

if ( date.now().current_hour == 3) { do all the things }

I'm using pseudocode here, but, you get the point. If the current hour of the run is equal to 3 AM, then do all the back loading.

I have noticed in postman that sometime when hitting the endpoint I can get an error returned first time and all subsequent tries work.

I assume if this was the case the default Backoff Time of 10 seconds would retry?
