I want to call external api from backend side and want to update data in database.  
How can I achieve this? Cron Job scheduler doesn’t support less than 1 hour interval.  
Please help me.

Assume you’ve done this, calling Wix Data updates EVERY SECOND may takes things crash. You should call the API and display in front-end when user visit the site. Instead of pre-add items into Wix.
