Creating a scheduler in C# to connect PublishThis API

Question

I want to create a scheduler which does following

Setup a scheduler that loops every 5 minutes
Inside of this scheduler, the following is done:
- If there is a timestamp stored from a previous loop, use it
- If scheduler is running for the first time, take the current time into a timestamp value
Call the method http://webapi.publishthis.com/rest/mixes/mixTemplates/?token=TOKEN:E4/TOrnj0kII13i7un7wnpTY7NSbBEPHNic8RAQKbkaB+siGaxk467A==

Can you please help to achieve it?

Hopefully it's ok to post that token out here... – jvilalta May 02 '14 at 16:20 — jvilalta, May 02 '14 at 16:20
That is a sample URL with dummy token – akhan May 02 '14 at 16:38 — akhan, May 02 '14 at 16:38

The simplest answer is to make a console program, and just set it as a scheduled task that runs every 5 minutes.

If you have to make it part of the web project, then there are other questions about doing that:

Can I achieve the functionality using global.asax? – akhan May 02 '14 at 16:34
Take a look at the [Revalee](http://revalee.sageanalytic.com) open source project. The project was designed specifically for scheduling web tasks and it includes async processing as well. The source code is on [GitHub](https://github.com/SageAnalytic/Revalee). – László Koller May 03 '14 at 13:57
