How can I make Firebase mirror a JSON feed?

[Mitch]

I have a website where every visitor gets data from a third-party JSON feed, and keeps accessing the feed every few seconds for updated info. But the maker of the feed says too many people are using it. So instead, I need Firebase to access the feed every few seconds and copy it, so that all my visitors can access the feed from Firebase instead of bombarding the original source. But how do I tell Firebase to copy this feed every few seconds?

Hello Mitch,

We do something very similar with Feed the Fire, which reads RSS feeds into Firebase. I think you'll find it a great idea bank and a close fit for your needs. Essentially, it uses a node.js process to read the source feeds on a regular interval and inject them into Firebase for consumption.

Regards,

Kato
