How to call an API on an interval in Superblocks

Question

I tried Superblocks, and wanted to call an API for a Grid Component on an interval. My Grid component pulls data from a Google Sheet and I wanted it to update every 2 seconds, but wasn't able to find an auto-refresh functionality to poll the API trigger on the interval. Is there a way to do this in Superblocks?

Answer 1

In Superblocks you can use Timers to call actions on a pre-defined interval.

In this case, you can create a Timer, set the desired interval in milliseconds, choose Run APIs as the Action Type, and pick the API that polls the data from your Google Sheet from the dropdown.

The Trigger then calls your API on the specified interval and auto-refreshes your Grid Component with the updated data.
