Running Background task for checking regular updates python flask

Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that! Running background tasks in a Python-Flask application can be achieved using a task queue and a worker process. In this tutorial, we'll use Celery as our task queue and Redis as the message broker. Celery is a powerful distributed task queue that is commonly used with Flask to handle background tasks.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:
You can install Flask and Celery using pip:
Make sure you have Redis installed and running. You can download Redis from here.
Install Celery using:
Now, when you access /trigger-update in your browser or using a tool like cURL, it will trigger the update_task in the background.
Remember to adapt the code to your specific use case and customize the update_task function with the logic you want to run in the background.
That's it! You've set up a basic background task system using Flask and Celery. Feel free to expand upon this foundation to meet the requirements of your application.
